RussH: Lo Carmen on creative success and her new book, ‘Lovers Dreamers Fighters’
Lo Carmen has been a working artist since she was a teenager. After making her feature film debut at the age of sixteen alongside Noah Taylor in the cult classic The Year My Voice Broke, she has forged a career as an actor as well as a singer-songwriter, releasing seven albums through her own label and collaborating over the years with members of the Bad Seeds, The Mess Hall and duetting with Bonnie “Prince” Billy. Lovers Dreamers Fighters is her first book, a memoir of coming-of-age on screen and in song that also pays tribute to the iconic Australian women—writers, rebels, activists and fellow musicians—who lit her way.
