So the fact that we can make that happen was really important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"e1vl0htn0 embed css-1e7dnir-StyledEmbed-StyledInstagramEmbed-PNEmbed e1kmsqkc3\">\n<section class=\"css-1jr5w2z-StyledConsentFallback epu9cz41\">\n<p>If you\u2019d like to view this content, please adjust your<!-- --> <button type=\"button\" class=\"css-rmo6w3-StyledLinkButton ezwyjwt0\">Cookie Settings<\/button>.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our<!-- --> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"css-445i33-StyledTextLink ezegcyi0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sevenwestmedia.com.au\/cookies-guide\">Cookie Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">The indie-rock-alt-pop artist is set to light up the stage at Milk Bar in Inglewood on Saturday, where fans will get the chance to hear his new music live.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">His most honest project to date consists of six songs and sees his passion for songwriting and vulnerability shine through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Recorded in Nashville with producer Jonathan Class, Pittman hand-picked the songs that intentionally tell a story, detailing the intricacies of love and heartbreak and navigating the journey of a relationship cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cThe whole EP is a cyclical thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cThere\u2019s the same motif at the start and the end, so when it ends, you\u2019ll hear it loop back to the first song. It\u2019s like the cycle of relationships, so with the title, I wanted that double meaning. It\u2019s like, you\u2019re OK again, but also, OK, I\u2019m really gonna go through this whole thing again?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cThe whole EP is relationship-focused, which is different to what I\u2019ve done before. A lot of my other songs I take from different parts of my life, but these are about the arc from one relationship ending to another one beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Born in Australia, Pittman moved to the UK as a baby, where he spent his childhood growing up in Holbrook, Suffolk, before moving to Sydney two years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">The rising star said he remembered having one guitar lesson and had a crack at the recorder, but admitted he wasn\u2019t naturally gifted.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"css-24ndbg-StyledPNFigure eq8qgnw2\"><picture class=\"eq8qgnw1 image css-1pnzhra-PictureWithIntrinsicRatio-StyledPNArticleImage eosncpx0\"><source data-ratio=\"161:229\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=100&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 100w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=150&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 150w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=250&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 250w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=320&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 320w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=414&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 414w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=500&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 500w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=640&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 640w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=828&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 828w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=1024&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 1024w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-20115552\/b693921452b3c5132d862f57ede4f768cf0de1b3-161x229-x366y854w3273h4655.jpg?imwidth=2048&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 668px\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"eixham80 figcaption css-mcrbmm-StyledPNCaption-StyledPNFigcaption eixham85\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"eixham82 css-1fi3k2d-StyledPNCameraIcon-StyledIconPNImage e1oq86r40\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><title>Camera Icon<\/title><path d=\"M23 19C23 19.5304 22.7893 20.0391 22.4142 20.4142C22.0391 20.7893 21.5304 21 21 21H3C2.46957 21 1.96086 20.7893 1.58579 20.4142C1.21071 20.0391 1 19.5304 1 19V8C1 7.46957 1.21071 6.96086 1.58579 6.58579C1.96086 6.21071 2.46957 6 3 6H7L9 3H15L17 6H21C21.5304 6 22.0391 6.21071 22.4142 6.58579C22.7893 6.96086 23 7.46957 23 8V19Z\" stroke=\"#666869\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><path d=\"M12 17C14.2091 17 16 15.2091 16 13C16 10.7909 14.2091 9 12 9C9.79086 9 8 10.7909 8 13C8 15.2091 9.79086 17 12 17Z\" stroke=\"#666869\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"css-15pqx16-StyledPNFigCaptionText eixham84\"><span class=\"css-1drr6t0-PNCaption eixham83\">Charlie Pittman on The Voice Australia.<\/span><span> Credit: <!-- -->The Voice<span>\/<\/span>The Voice<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI didn\u2019t grow up in a musical family at all, I kind of found a passion for it on my own,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cBack when I was probably a teenager, I remember going into school early, and being able to use the music room and just teaching myself to play chords on the piano, teaching myself guitar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cGrowing up in the UK, I was super sporty as well. I grew up playing a lot of football, soccer, cricket, rugby, tennis, and swimming. So it was interesting navigating that, whilst trying to navigate music as well. Did a bit of a Troy Bolton, but took the music more seriously, and discovered that was really what I wanted to do for life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI feel like my music and my career have really grown since moving to Australia. I think I needed that change in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">After his Aussie shows, Pittman will head back to the UK to support British indie-rock band The Manatees next month and Live At Leeds Festival on November 15.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI\u2019ve done a couple of support shows before, but I\u2019ve never done a support tour.
