Several people in business attire are positioned around the scene, including one walking past in the foreground and others standing near the background wall.

AGENT X by Magickal Ms. G: a sci-fi jazz odyssey at PACT, Erskineville

Tamil-Australian vocalist, composer and writer Magickal Ms. G fuses jazz, blues, neo-soul and Dravidian rhythms to explore love, displacement and colonial legacy. Her wry  lyricism, haunting melodies and genre-bending sound worlds, create an otherworldly fusing of sci-fi narrative and political sad-girl pop.
