Biography

As one half of New Zealand’s critically acclaimed sibling duo BROODS, Georgia Nott has spent most of her time in recent years either in a studio or on the road touring – a dream situation for many musicians. But there was one slightly frustrating fact that continually cropped up for her: she was often one of few, and sometimes the only woman in the room when it came to writing sessions and touring. So when Georgia began contemplating a solo side project, she also found herself highly motivated to work with other women. “I had these songs that I’d been writing that were a bit more personal than anything else I’d written...I was thinking, ‘I’m pretty capable, why don’t I just start producing it myself, and see what happens’. “But then I kept encountering all these ridiculously talented ladies who I’d meet in LA and on my travels that I wanted to work with, and that’s how it became this all-female collaboration.” That collaboration resulted in an album - The Venus Project: Vol 1. (out March 8th) brought to life entirely by a team of women. From the artwork to the mastering and management, it’s a celebration of many impressive creative female talents who often fly under the radar. A raw, vulnerable collection of vocal-driven alt-pop which has Georgia laying her thoughts bare, and hoping to get people thinking about the lack of women in roles behind the scenes in the music industry, while also drawing their attention to some excellent new female talent.
