Washington, first name Megan, is a real musical artist. A beautiful artist.
Born and raised, in Port Moresby on the tiny Pacific Ocean Island of Papua New Guinea Megan moved to study jazz voice for six years at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, in her early twenties Washington moved to the dark, moody and culturally rich plains of Melbourne, Victoria.
Forming a band in 2009, Washington shimmied slightly left of her sweet jazz roots with an independent EP Clementine, and it was here the first early signs of her own take on Indie/Alternative/ Pop/Mainstream/Blues and showtime jazz spectacular first appeared and began to blossom.
Clementine picked up the National Youth Network, Triple J’s ‘Unearthed and new album 'Insomnia' is not a new Washington studio album. Variously described as a ‘magpie’s nest’ and ‘an eight-legged spider’ the project is an extension of the themes explored through the closing title track on her debut album. All of the material from Insomnia was written in the 12 manic months following the release of I Believe You Liar in Australia and includes the current radio favourite ‘Holy Moses’.

About this track...
Holy Moses was written and partly recorded in a backyard studio in Los Angeles. If you listen closely you'll hear trash-can lids and knitting needles improvising for instruments. This is how her life sounds a little down the track from Rich Kids & Sunday Best.
