In this conversation, Joel and I skip over the money talk and dive right into the role that creativity plays in life, the workplace, and society. We also unpack the thinking behind Blackbird’s different approach to other investment firms and why life at Blackbird is pretty great. 

In discussing the importance of creative thought in work, life, and play, we drew alignments from religion and art, and also discussed our own unconventional life journeys that have led us to the world of startups and innovation. 

Enjoy! - Diletta Legowo

Pressing play on her music takes you to a dreamy realm of genre you might not immediately be able to put your finger on, and to Komang, this was intentional. 

Uniquely, she blends groove-based production with artistry influenced by her Balinese heritage, creating vibrant electronic RnB described as ‘neo-soul with Balinese spirit’. This multidisciplinary vision is perfectly exemplified in her recently released single, 'DEWI' named after the Indonesian word for ‘Goddess’ (you can hear it at the end of our interview in podcast episode 01). From starting off as a trained actor in theatre, to selling out her first solo show at AsiaTOPA 2020, Komang’s musical journey takes inspiration from her experience of navigating her cultural identity as a mixed-race Indonesian Australian. During a quiet afternoon amidst Victoria’s lockdown, Diletta sat down with Komang to unpack these diverse influences, affecting her creative process in music.
