Following the COVID lockdown, up and coming singer/producer shlin. wondered about the future of music, mainly what it would sound like. Predicting a heavy basis on technological sound that was overstimulating yet empty, he set to work to carve out his brand. As the world turns a new page to 2025, shlin. is writing a new chapter in his musical story, an energised pop extravaganza called Feels Like. I got the opportunity to sit down with shlin. to discuss his origins, his musical journey so far and discuss what 2025 has in store for the Naarm musician.

Words by Simon Kelesidis. For creative people, inspiration can come from anywhere or anything: Dreams, films, even nature, but it is said that the best creators are the ones who play with the raw materials of life, who channel all their emotions, experiences and lessons into the art they’re making.
