From a tiny bedroom in Bendigo, Australia, to the expansive stages of Groovin’ The Moo Festival, Fae Scott, known as yergurl, is one of Australia’s most exciting young artists. As someone who is “inspired by ‘moments’ in music, not so much particular artists, genres or even songs,” creative enthusiasm has been in Fae’s blood since she was born; some of her earliest artistic memories were scribbling down short stories into a notebook with her twin sister, Marci, and creating little improvised songs on her Photo Booth app, until she entered the world of music production in her early teens.

It was only when Fae reached adolescence and discovered the magnetism of poetry that these little melodies started to develop into fully fleshed-out tracks. With a notebook clutched under one arm and a tiny Casio keyboard under the other, she learned that writing music was one of the best forms of expressing her feelings - especially when many of her songs detailed the complications of “obsession-inducing” heartbreaks with high school boyfriends. According to Fae, her music was made “purely to evoke a certain feeling”. During this time, the pseudonym “yergurl” also began to float in circulation, named after a lyric Fae jotted down which read, “I’ll be yer gurl,” as an ode to a boyfriend. Soon, alongside a faithful pursuit in gaining more music production knowledge and laying down some fresh new demos, Fae was ready to release some of her work onto the world, beginning with her (now-deleted) Soundcloud track, “BLEED.”
