Madeline Kassen “Borderline With My Atoms”

My name is Nai Palm. I am the lead singer, electric guitarist, occasionally piano for Hiatus Kaiyote. There's never really been a pivotal moment when I realized music affecting me. I was really blessed to grow up in a household that was really creative and musical. My first memory that i could pinpoint it to is riding this yellow trike I had around this massive house in South Yarra. I lived with my mom and my siblings and my mom loved old soul like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Al Green and I remember riding circle around the house listening to Master Blaster? No, not Master Blaster, Boogie On Reggae Woman by Stevie Wonder. You know when you look back to when you were a kid and there's like a few moments of pure joy that was all encompassing? That was one of them. But you know my mother was a contemporary dancer and she was in the Australian Ballet Company when she was 19. She studied dance and used to bring home a lot of music. Soul was kind of the staple but she'd bring a lot of flamenco and West African music. So I'm an orphan and when my mother was sick I lived with my aunty - her sister. Growing up in a household where it was all soul and flamenco and stuff and then moving to a house where the head matriarch was heavily submerged in classical Indian culture. I was really lucky to be surrounded by amazing culture, and also the celebration of different cultures from around the world from a young age is from my mother and my aunty's influence, so it's always been something I adored, you know, and been completely fascinated with. Music is not.. like, I've always sung and written. I never had any lessons or anything but it was always like a sanctuary I guess. I mean, I had a pretty crazy childhood. My dad was an alcoholic, jewelry make, ex-pikey that left when I was very young and then my mother died when I was 11. So to grow up in such a warm, musical, creative environment and then to go through a harsh emotional trauma when I was a kid, it really... to have those tools of expressing yourself creatively is really important. I feel like a lot of the best artistic culture around the world is the reaction to struggle. A lot of people victimize themselves, I guess, when confronted with trauma, but I feel like it's a seed. To react against it and to know your depths and to really measure how you come back from that. Music was always definitely therapeutically and so important of my personal evolution, regardless of whether it sounded good. The cool thing is learning from a young age how important it is from a young age to me as a person, but I think what really made me make that transition to sharing it with other people didn't come from a place of like 'I need the validation of other people' but more like 'this works for me' and other people might not have the ability to write or make sense of whatever it is they're going through, so by displaying all of your shit people can see it in themselves or can grow empathically through listening to it, which is what I did when I was little. The music that you experience heals you and you relate to it even though you may not have had the exact experience that that person was going through, you can find your own way to relate to it. So I've found it really beautiful to be on the other side of that conversation and to be able to give people relief.

You are a legend, thanks so much :)
