“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.

*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.

"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.

“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.

"You can easily get sucked into living in fear, which makes you less daring. But if you're confident, you're fearless."

Victoria Monét's ambition was always to arrive as the artist she always knew she would be. The GRAMMY-award winning American singer, songwriter, and producer interrogates the long-distance journey between origin and destiny.

"Other people's joy really makes me light up. I would hope that I'm their voice if they need one.”

Billie Eilish, the Grammy-winning minimalist chanteuse, challenges the very idea of origin. In her art and identity, she rejects the very idea that who she was yesterday is who she has to be tomorrow.

"There is that celebration after a struggle. I try to be the calm after the storm."

Koffee, the Jamaican-born Reggae artist and the youngest person to ever win Best Reggae album, reflects on the importance of trusting her instincts and her love of the island that nurtured her creativity.

"I think when things are painful, they're usually good at the end. I don't.... I'm not somebody who shies away from leaning into my pain, at all."

King Princess, the non-binary singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, takes on origin in the frame of identity, a place where we are formed, informed, and then transformed.
