Melbourne-based future soul artist Emma Volard crafts sultry sounds, weaving personal stories and championing causes dear to their heart.

Phillip Island

"During summer the Mutton birds fly over 8000 kilometers from the Alaskan islands to Phillip Island to return to their burrows. At nighttime, around January,in summer, they come back and they've got their little baby chicks, and they feed them. It's magical. It's insane: you're standing there and thousands of birds are flying by at sunset."

Surfies Point

"The Pinnacles are really amazing — they're these long, orange rocks. I went for a climb there when I was a kid, it was insane. We went down and free rock climbed it."

Old Granite Quarry

"It's just so yum and nourishing. And you can tell that they're really passionate about what they're making. And so you love it too. It's so unassuming but great."

Cowes Curry Club

"They have these sea caves; you can go inside and look at them and the water comes through. They’re really beautiful, huge cavernous kind of holes that you can stand in. They have these amazing rock pools that you can literally jump into they’re so deep."

Forrest Caves in Surf Beach

"It's really amazing to just go there and watch. It's off Smiths Beach and you just keep walking, walking, walking to the left and then eventually you get there. You have to jump off the rocks at the end and straight into the waves."
