The City of Parramatta Council has just launched its new brand for Parramatta to increase visitation to the Sydney Central River City, and what better way to get the public hyped than to use Chameleon – PNAU. Check out the video campaign for Sydney’s latest culturally diverse hub below:
There’s no doubt it’s been a chaotic few months and for the first time ever, songwriters and producers around the world are no longer tied to busy touring schedules. As our writers slowed right down and shifted their focus on to music making, 120 decided it would be a great opportunity to curate their FIRST ever Virtual Writers Camp.
With 30 writers, across 100 sessions over two weeks, our participants worked from places including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, New York, Los Angeles, Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands. Mirroring standard face-to-face sessions, our 2020 Virtual Camp participants were assigned to groups of 2-3 and tasked to complete a song by the end of the day. The music that was formulated through the Virtual Camp, was nothing short of phenomenal and it was such an uplifting experience to see our community come together, to create and to connect across platforms like Zoom and Skype.
Songwriters and producers have been working behind closed doors for quite some time, but creating new music right now is absolutely invaluable. Who knew making music virtually could be such a time! 120 would love to thank all those who participated and we can’t wait to show you all the new creations.
120 Publishing clients Savage, Reece Low and Joel Fletcher have had their work ‘Turn Up’ added to the soundtrack for the acclaimed racing game Need For Speed Heat. The game is available to purchase on players including PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows . Check out the killer track below:

Our incredible writer and Hip-Hop legend Savage draws attention to mental wellbeing with an incredibly moving live acoustic version of his upcoming single ‘Reach Out’, filmed at Roundhead Studio in Auckland.
He hopped on The Project New Zealand to talk about it:
“Last year, my niece lost her battle with mental illness… it really devastated our family. We’d just come back from a massive family reunion in Samoa, and that news hitting us really devastated us, my kids, their cousins… it really affected everyone,” he shared.
“Towards the end of last year, at the beginning of this year, I really started to question myself as an artist… whether there is something I can do to help, to bring more awareness to mental health and suicide.
“The song is very close to me… it’s probably the most meaningful song I’ve ever put together. Everyone knows me as the life of the party, bringing the bangers out. This is more to home.”
Check out the beautiful live performance below:
