INSTRUMENTAL is a series of conversations with some of Australia’s most successful musicians in which host Amber Petty explores the mystery of how her guests have transcended beyond their simple love of music to realising a musical dream come true, often beyond their wildest, rock ’n’ roll dreams. At the heart of each episode are the relationships these musicians have with one particular instrument. We explore why these great love affairs have been so ‘instrumental’ to them personally and professionally. Coming up in this series we chat to - Sarah McLeod (The Superjesus), Simon Mavin (Hiatus Kaiyote), Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil), Harry Angus James (The Cat Empire), Peter Luscombe (Paul Kelly band), Cash Savage (Cash Savage & The Last Drinks), Pat Davern (Grinspoon) and Sarah Blasko.

SIMON MAVIN, HIATUS KAIYOTE - is a pianist, keyboardist and composer with twice Grammy nominated band.
Simon remembers hearing his mother playing classical piano at aged three or four, a memory he says was "comforting and beautiful". It was perhaps this magical spell that lead him to begin exploring the piano soon after. By five years old, people around him recognised he had a talent way beyond his years. After years of classical music lessons, his connection to music deepened as he began playing with other people in his university years. It was the "tingle down my spine" moment that became the "drug" - he knew he wanted more. He could never know how far that "more" would take him, joining a band that would go on to be nominated for two Grammys, and be sampled by Jay Z and Beyonce, Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
