S2 Episode 3: "Spectral Chaos" In this week's episode, our featured guest Vonne shares an exciting curated blend of music as well as a series of personal anecdotes on their creative practice, musical origins, transition from performance to DJing, and experience in the electronic and indie music scenes in Austin.

With Guest: Vonne is a musician, composer, and DJ currently based in Austin, Texas. Music and performance have always been innate pursuits for Vonne, as their earliest memories include performing in church musicals, ripping cassette mixtapes from Houston radio stations, and emulating every last one of their favorite vocalists, from Bob Marley to Darwin Deez to Beach House’s Victoria Legrand.

While transitioning from Texas public school to a U.S. Department of Defense school in Bahrain, Vonne released their self-produced and recorded debut EP ‘Foreign Affairs’ in 2015, which still holds up today as early reflections on intimacy and experiences with recreational drug use through a robust pop landscape. In 2022, Vonne DJ’d the Formula 1 Grand Prix races at Circuit of Anericas and later went on to guest DJ KUTX Austin’s Left of the Dial in April 2023. Through their most recent musical efforts, Vonne is rooting themself in sounds across the jazz spectrum while still incorporating indie pop melodies. Currently, Vonne is writing and recording music for their next album. Their radio show, Warm Bath, airs on Tuesdays at 11PM CST on KVRX 91.7 FM and kvrx.org through August 2023.
