Deborah Conway: From Man Overboard to The Book of Life

In this RNB episode, Michael Lester chats with Deborah Conway, tracing her eventful music career—from the 1980s with Do Re Mi and the hit "Man Overboard," through a vibrant 1990s solo run, to collaborations with her partner Zygier. They discuss the evolution of her craft, her foray into musical theatre with The Book of Life, and her 2025 autobiography. The conversation touches on themes like "Human Sounds" and the tension between human artistry and AI-generated music, as well as Conway's recent projects and the upcoming Manly Writers Festival in March 2026. They also reflect on new material, touring, and Conway's enduring influence in Australian music.
