This time away resulted in him refining his creative direction, returning home to Australia with a clear sense of passion and purpose. We spoke with Brendan about how important it is to find your own voice as a performer, the rewards of producing content with a purpose beyond yourself, practical daily journaling, and having the confidence to create work with simplicity instead of getting bogged down in unnecessary complexity.
