My name is Lochlan Watt...
...and Music Is My Life. I have been a passionate participant in the Australian music industry for well over two decades. Currently based in Melbourne, I am a tour promoter at Australia's largest independent touring company, Destroy All Lines, and the vocalist of RUN, After resigning as host of triple j's The Racket after a 13-year stint on air in December 2024, I decided that I needed to keep the conversational element of that going on my own terms, got stuck into launching my first podcast and so here we are. This is my platform for me to share with you the friendships, musical interests and connections I have made along the journey. For better or worse, it is safe to say that Music Is My Life.
