Are you ready to join the Dami Army!
Our guest this episode is hands down one of the most talented performers Australia has. Dami Im is a pianist, singer, songwriter, author, teacher, wife, mother, Queensland girl and all-round good human.
We first discovered her through the TV show X-Factor and she harnessed that win to build on her career and amongst other huge achievements like hit songs and albums, she represented Australia at Eurovision and came SECOND.
Dami is amazing Mama Mentor for this episode for so many reasons. Dami moved to Australia from South Korea when she was just 9 years old. She didn’t speak English and had to start her life over. Dami chats to us about how scary it is to move countries right before you hit the teen years, the insecurities she felt, and tools she used to try and fit in when she clearly stood out. Hint. Music bridges all gaps!
Later in the episode we dig deep to how uncomfortable fame feels like her, how she built her talent recording herself singing into her laptop, how working with record labels can compromise you as an artist, plus of course what performing in Eurovision in front of the world is really like.
We will 'Move Over' and let you listen.

Millie Manifested this episodes guest. We were at the launch of the new Blueys World in Brisbane and standing behind us was EMMA Wiggle! As Emma Memma stood behind us ready to go on stage Millie whispered, 'do you think I could ask her to be on the podcast when she is finished'.. We have a policy that the worst anyone can say is NO, and No isn't a bad word so never be afraid to ask anyone anything. So when Emma Memma finished her performance we lined up for a photo and asked her the question and here she is today
For those that don’t know, although I suspect we barely need to do an introduction for. Emma Watkins aka Emma Memma, but Emma is now perhaps Australia's most famous and favorite children's entertainer, dancer, singer, author and television presenter. She is best known as the first female member of the children's group The Wiggles. Due to her popularity in the group, she starred in her own spinoff series as a solo Wiggles performer, titled Emma!. After departing the group, she debuted her own children's entertainment character, Emma Memma. She released her first solo children's music album in 2022 which received an ARIA Award for Best Children's Album in 2023. She has also appeared in reality television shows like including The Masked Singer, The Amazing Race Australia and a Christmas special of Lego Masters Australia. She narrated the children's series Reef School, and hosted Teenage Boss: Next Level in 2024.
And that's just some of her achievements. She is perfect to be a Move Over Mama mentor and we are so thrilled she said YES!

Michael Buble joins us for our first episode of Season 4 of Move Over Mama.
This season is shaping up to be a big one with some amazing people already recorded and ready to go. We can't believe who is saying yes to the pod-dress... or something like that.
In this episode Michael Buble sings with Millie... ok so its from a few years ago, but we dug the audio up for a very good reason. Hear for the first time how a simple sign at a Michael Buble concert led to an interview with him, which is why we went to 3 concerts in a week holding up signs asking in person for those artists to come on our podcast.
Billie Eilish, Drake and Kylie Minogue... will one of them be on Season 4 because of our signs? We can dream!
