Building the Sunshine Coast Music Community
The Scene Seed connects artists, venues and industry voices through open conversation and shared stories.
Our Mission:
The Scene Seed exists to help build and sustain a thriving music community on the Sunshine Coast — for everyone involved.
Artists. Venues. Technicians. Promoters. Industry professionals. And the punters who show up and make it all matter.
This isn’t about clout.
It isn’t about extracting value from a scene.
It’s about putting energy back into the community that raised us — creating conversations, connections and opportunities that strengthen the ecosystem as a whole.
We believe a healthy scene benefits everyone.
Our team:
Meet the people behind the movement:
Chris “4NDO” Anderson has spent more than 20 years immersed in the Sunshine Coast music scene as a drummer, performer, promoter, producer, and mentor. From packed local venues and major regional festivals to studio sessions and artist development, music has been a constant thread throughout his life.
Today, Chris is the founder of BakBeat Studio and The Scene Seed, where he combines his passion for music, storytelling, and community by helping local artists create, connect, and grow.
Our Partners:
The Scene Seed is built on collaboration.
We proudly partner with local music industry professionals, venues, creatives and businesses who believe in strengthening the Sunshine Coast music ecosystem from the ground up.
From sound engineers and photographers to studios, promoters, hospitality venues and independent brands — our partners are the people who help turn ideas into experiences.
They’re the quiet contributors, the behind-the-scenes operators, and the passionate locals investing their time, energy and expertise into making our scene thrive.
Together, we’re not just supporting music — we’re building sustainable pathways for artists, creating opportunities for connection, and keeping value circulating within our own community.
Because a healthy scene grows stronger when we grow it together.
