In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, hosts Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down for an unscripted conversation with Polish-Australian singer-songwriter, producer, and live-looping artist ZUZY.

Tom breaks down what it takes to write with that level of emotional honesty, recording in a home studio during its final days, and how finding love meant accepting he’d never be number one—and learning that real love doesn't ask to be.Real talk, fresh sounds, and zero filter.AwareNomadicBraveOfficial Website: tommacmusic.com Tour Dates & Tickets: tommacmusic.com/showsFacebook  - https://www.facebook.com/tommacmusic Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tommacmusic If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and subscribe so you never miss an interview!Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: [@unfiltered.undiscovered]Visit our Hall of Fame to explore past and current inductees: https://unfilteredandundiscovered.com/hall-of-fame-unfiltered-undiscovered/ Copyright Disclaimer:"The Unfiltered & Undiscovered Podcast features interviews and showcases with music artists, along with our Mystery Song Deep Dive segment, which is intended solely for educational and entertainment purposes.
