Will the real Maddy Rowe please stand up - Maddy Rowe (Episode 190)

This week on the show I catch up with Maddy Rowe. She is jam packed with Passion when it comes to Australian Music to the point where she has made it a focus in her career to give airplay to those independent Australian acts that don't get much time in the sun. The difference with Maddy is she is an Australian independent artist herself and knows the struggles of what these bands go through to get on any sort of launching platform.

Listen to how Maddy has taken her love of Australian Music and combined it with her LOVE of this industry!
