Singer Ashleigh Rose reflects on how busking built her confidence to perform on stage while sharing why she prefers to sing around the Southbank rather than the Bourke Street Mall. Ashleigh also highlights the use of TikTok and Instagram to promote her street music sessions and her relationship with other buskers, especially the ones she met when studying at the Australian College of the Arts (Collarts).
