Inayah

I dream of one day living off the grid in the countryside with some chooks and a cat for company, only venturing out for supplies.

About

Get to know Inayah

I love presenting because I get to explore all this wonderful music by local, Boorloo-based artists, I have especially valued broadening my horizons and enjoying so much amazing First Nations music that I otherwise wouldn’t have been exposed to. RTRFM’s music catalogue and sound selection is honestly so freaking diverse and Matt Perrett & team do a phenomenal job selecting and curating it. Also, I love it when I play something very personal and close to my heart, and a listener gets in touch to tell me how much they enjoyed that song – it makes my night (or morning)!

How did you become involved in the station?

I contacted Chris about becoming a volunteer after a friend told me about how they got involved, and how amazing it was to be a part of something local, independent, with the freedom and diversity to provide an alternative voice for Perth – how can I not be excited about that?

Tell us about your most memorable gig, either attending or playing at?

Hard to say, admittedly I haven’t been to many, but one gig that always stands out to me is Soundwave 2010 when I got to see Faith No More, Anthrax, Jimmy Eat World, Placebo and Jane’s Addiction. Talk about a dream come true! I recently had the pleasure of witnessing Mike Patton and Scott Ian perform again when Mr Bungle came to Perth in March 2024 – at that point I’d waited 20 years to see the band in concert so it was like I’d died and gone to The Good Place.
