Do you harbour dreams of making it big as a musician, dancer or an artist, but struggle to juggle your side hustle with your day job? Or maybe you’ve been working away at it for a while, uploading tunes to SoundCloud, makin’ zines, putting together your own Fringe dance pieces, but debts are piling up and your folks have no-so-subtly hinted that you go back to Uni?
Well, Platypus Shoes want you to know you’re not alone in feeling that way – but that you shouldn’t give up. Sure, it’s hard, but there are people who have met the same challenges as you who pushed through ’em and ended up making it big.
That’s why they want to introduce you to their three #DiscoverSeries ambassadors: ARIA-winning singer-songwriter Amy Shark; New Zealand-born choreographer Parris Goebel, whose worked with the Biebs and RiRi; and freelance illustrator, designer and artist Alex Lehours whose clients include The Black Keys, Young Henrys and Converse.
To inspire you to remain focused and fearless, and to keep chasing your creative dream, Platypus Shoes have partnered with these ambassadors to offer one-on-one mentoring sessions as part of their #DiscoverSeries.
As part of the prize, you’ll also score $2000 to go towards your career – whether you use it for tickets to take you to get #inspo, learn more and tour overseas, or to buy all that expensive equipment you need to make your work. Then they’ll set you running towards those goals with fresh kicks – a $1000 voucher at Platypus – and the chance to star in a suite of content sharing your personal story with Australia.
For the chance to win all of that, and to take one step closer to realising your creative goals, post a photo or video of what you do best in dance, music or art to Instagram with the hashtag #DiscoverSeries and follow @platypus_sneakers on Instagram.
In the immortal words of my queen Gwen Stefani, whatcha waitin’ for?
