  • Evolution of Self

    Evolution of Self
    Jun 23 2026
    Host: Ez (he/him) w/ Special Guests Dylan Holloway (he/him) and Acton Wickens (he/him) This week on a special STEREO show of Tranzmission, Ez sits down with a truly singular artist: UK‑based singer‑songwriter Dylan Holloway (he/him), known to audiences as Dylan and the Moon. Dylan’s work spans a rich catalogue of original music and reimagined covers, but what sets him apart is his ability to braid his personal journey into his sound. As a transgender musician, he’s crafted haunting duets between his pre‑transition and post‑transition vocals—melding past and present into an intimate exploration of identity, memory and transformation. Ez and Dylan dive into his creative process, the vocal techniques that supported him through medical transition, and his reflections on the current climate for trans people, especially trans youth in the UK. Joining Ez in the studio is returning special guest Acton Wickens (he/him) [See Ep: Recall Receive Releasing Friday], local singer‑songwriter, who brings his own lived experience of transition and vocal change to the conversation. Together, they chat about artistry, the mechanics and the emotion behind trans voices evolving over time including his new song Heaven Only Knows which came out on the 19th of June. Plus, we bring you the week in community news and events—everything happening across Meanjin’s queer and trans spaces.
