  • Summary

  • *New episodes with Troye Sivan, Kali Uchis, Dominic Fike, and Victoria Monét out now*

    “Where are you from?”

    That’s the question presented at the beginning of each episode of Origins, Audible's innovative music storytelling series that features groundbreaking artists revealing their answers through spoken narrative, musical performance, and immersive sound design that make you feel as if you’ve been dropped into their mind.

    Our artists hail from diverse backgrounds—musically, culturally, geographically—and each has their own unique origin story. What they share, though, is a burning desire—truly, a need—to create and express oneself.

    Origins reveals the source of each artist’s creative spirit, what fuels them. It’s a unique peek into the minds of artists creating the next wave of music, an eye-opening account of just how soulful, articulate, and purpose-driven this generation of creators can be. But, ultimately, it’s a series about finding your voice, finding your calling, finding acceptance, and finding yourself.

    Troye Sivan, Kali Uchis, Dominic Fike, and Victoria Monét join fellow boundary-breaking musicians Billie Eilish, Camilo, Doja Cat, Flying Lotus, King Princess, Koffee, Mickey Guyton, and Tobe Nwigwe, as the podcast series expands to reflect music's most influential and eclectic creators.

  • Episode 12: Dominic Fike
    Dec 5 2024

    “I'm screaming to something to give me a second chance.”

    Dominic Fike is an American musician and actor whose reckless experience with childhood combined with the volatility of the public eye. Driven by a relentless desire for balance, we meet him where he is: confessional, open, and ready to reframe a narrative that no longer reflects the truth of his origin.

    Dec 5 2024

    "Music and love, to me, are the most powerful forces."

    Kali Uchis is a Grammy and Billboard Latin Music award-winning singer and songwriter from Colombia and America whose ability to blend genres and shift between Spanish and English has made her a stand-out with international audiences. She invites us – even forces us – to redefine and reexamine the very concept of origin.

    Dec 5 2024

    “How can anyone tell you that *you're* wrong?"

    Troye Sivan, the Australian singer-songwriter, actor, and global pop star, shone bright from an early age, even in the face of limiting self-beliefs. For Troye, finding his voice in music has since revealed a spirit he’s spent a lifetime learning to celebrate.

An interesting and musical listen

Love the delicate interplay of sounds, music and spoken word. Really interesting to hear their origin stories.

Good but over produced

I like Billies out look, but I personally find it hard to listen to the message with all the over production and background noise that seems the be the rage these days.
