Blackened Bones, Ready Now and Galaxies of Gold Feedback:

"... a definite addition to my Playlist of favourite songs..." - Jake Cassar (Writer, Performer, Bush Craft Teacher and Environmental Advocate, Tracker, NSW)

"...the music took me on a journey of discovery..." - Vincenzo Pandolfi (Finalist in ABC The Piano, NSW)

"...WIZARD. Blackened Bones had me wrapped in energy... It's like ancestral energy putting it's hand on your shoulder, ancestors talking through you! Ready now hit like 'get up, dust yourself off and live your life, you’re a warrior' and Galaxies of Gold is an ethereal bop!" - Annika Davies (Gen Z Representative. NSW)

"...transformative sound spoke to my soul. There is heart, strength and inspiration in this..." - Larissa Dean (STAR 104.5 Radio, NSW)

"...Axel has kicked between the goal posts with these tracks. The vocals... The time taken to record each track... I will just say: stunning." - Andrew Thompson (Performer, Writer, Producer, VIC)

"...I loved the three songs. Made me feel emotional and swept away, but in a good way. I felt like I was floating with the harmonies..." - Jacky Foxhall (Top Cat Entertainment, NSW)

"...The presence of multiple voices symbolises the many spiritual selves we move through, each distinct, yet all part of one evolving whole.” - Cristina Palmeirim Borges (Music Producer, DJ, South Africa)

Performed by myself, Axel Starviking, originally a female-presenting Arts Producer and Performer from South Africa, now a Central Coast based trans man polymath, singer-songwriter and theatrical performer.

My compositions are built around a unique dual-voice structure. I perform live alongside multi-layered recordings of my former mezzo voice, captured over eight years as my voice transitioned with my gender presentation.

This creates, I feel, a conversation across time and space. The female vocals were recorded between 2016 and 2022. Male vocals were recorded between 2022 - 2025.

In 2026 I will release an album ⭐♥️

Thank you to Yantra de Vilder for her constant support this year. A living Creative Catalyst ❤️

Received a fantastic feedback email today from a client. Such great news!

Hi, my name is Jason.

I would like to share a little about my experience with Axel.

A few years ago, I attended a work Christmas party in a hire car. During the trip, I urgently needed to use the bathroom but had no way to stop. I ended up having to urinate in a bottle in front of my colleagues, which was extremely embarrassing. After that experience, I developed severe anxiety around travelling in cars with other people. This anxiety affected me for around two years and extended to all forms of transport.

I searched for therapy to help resolve the issue, which is when I found Axel. I was sceptical at first, but I decided to take the plunge and book my first session. The session went well and I immediately felt a little better.

I attended weekly sessions for a few months and gradually began travelling again, starting with short trips with my wife. These went better than expected. As my confidence improved, I reduced sessions to once a month while travelling longer distances and with more people. Over time, the sessions spaced out further, moving to approximately every two months for refresher sessions.

Recently, I travelled to Sydney in a van with three other people and experienced no urge to use the bathroom on the way there or back, which was a huge milestone for me.

I would definitely recommend hypnotherapy.

My thoughts are with the victims of the tonight, and their families. A senseless tragedy.

And to the hero who fought the gunman and stopped the attack - Thank you! 🙏⭐

A wonderful concert today on a hot, eucalyptus scented day in Avoca Central Coast NSW.

I had the absolute pleasure of performing lead vocals, with my Creative Partner, the one and only Yantra de Vilder on piano (we perform Yantra's original compositions), and the Ephemera Choir, with Andy W on Vibra.

A beautiful afternoon, and my last show of the year - 2025 has been an incredible year! 🎶⭐♥️

Remember, sing it out. Always.

This is getting ridiculous. The link in this message simply opens Instagram with no further idea of what I'm looking for, or what steps to take. So what is the point of sending the message out?

YES ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yesterday I replied to this comment, and the video disappeared from my drafts folder.... So I made a second one. Woke up this morning and there it was!

Oh well ⭐😅

This crown is one of my favourites, it's taken me 8 years to build, in July this year I pulled it completely apart and reconstructed it, making it more comfortable to wear. I love performing in it - on piano, the black feathers swing and sway, catching the light with their green and blue shimmer. So beautiful.

I love that all of my wearable art takes years, many forms, take downs and build ups... In this time of instant gratification, making art that takes years is a different kind of relationship to objects. They become familiar, they sit in my hand comfortably, in a known sort of way.

⭐❤️

Can't wait to have fun with these!

Time to cross match, dress up and explore moving to my music. Time to lay down a digital footprint that can replace the old me: her.

Time for the new name, new face, new sound exploration. A decade of recording songs, layering my vocals as I changed from Soprano to Tenor - telling stories and carving a new path for myself artistically. I've got a really big and exciting project that will unfold in 2026, but for now I'll be enjoying three of my more pop/radio friendly songs in videos. And having fun playing with costume items I've had for a while.

Since 2020 I have been offline in this way, after doing daily livestreams throughout the pandemic. When I started my hormonal transition I went into hibernation, into a crysalis of sorts, and now my wings are starting to unfurl (actually my wings are hanging on the cupboard door, I've got plans for them that include a stage, lights, and an audience!)

2025 has been a phenomenal year, and 2026 will be even better!

I have also been accepted onto Triple J Unearthed ❤️ 🖇️ in comments.

Thought I'd give this a go. The so pretty challenge 😊⭐❤️ I absolutely LOVE dress up, cosplay and wearable art. I have worked for years on this Valkyrie crown. So many rhinestones!
