Origins

Audible Originals

Where are you from?

That’s the question presented at the beginning of each episode of Origins, Audible’s new music storytelling series, featuring eight groundbreaking artists. The answers come through spoken narrative, musical performance, and immersive sound design that make you feel like you’ve been dropped into the mind of the artist.

Our artists hail from diverse backgrounds—musically, culturally, geographically—and each has their own unique origin story. This series works in showing the common denominator shared between them: a burning desire—truly, a need—to create and express oneself, and features Billie Eilish, Camilo, Doja Cat, Flying Lotus, King Princess, Koffee, Mickey Guyton, and Tobe Nwigwe.

Origins reveals the source of each artist’s creative spirit, what fuels them. It’s a unique peek into the minds of artists creating the next wave of music, an eye-opening account of just how soulful, articulate, and purpose-driven this generation of creators can be. But, ultimately, it’s a story about finding your voice, finding your calling, finding acceptance, and finding yourself.

“I'm screaming to something to give me a second chance.”Dominic Fike is an American musician and actor whose reckless experience with childhood combined with the volatility of the public eye. Driven by a relentless desire for balance, we meet him where he is: confessional, open, and ready to reframe a narrative that no longer reflects the truth of his origin.

"Music and love, to me, are the most powerful forces."Kali Uchis is a Grammy and Billboard Latin Music award-winning singer and songwriter from Colombia and America whose ability to blend genres and shift between Spanish and English has made her a stand-out with international audiences. She invites us – even forces us – to redefine and reexamine the very concept of origin.

“How can anyone tell you that *you're* wrong?"Troye Sivan, the Australian singer-songwriter, actor, and global pop star, shone bright from an early age, even in the face of limiting self-beliefs. For Troye, finding his voice in music has since revealed a spirit he’s spent a lifetime learning to celebrate.

Victoria Monét

"You can easily get sucked into living in fear, which makes you less daring. But if you're confident, you're fearless."Victoria Monét's ambition was always to arrive as the artist she always knew she would be. The GRAMMY-award winning American singer, songwriter, and producer interrogates the long-distance journey between origin and destiny.

Billie Eilish challenges origin, resists definition, and rejects the very idea that who she was yesterday is who she has to be tomorrow.

Koffee reflects on the importance of trusting instinct and her love of the island that nurtured her creativity.

King Princess takes on origin in the frame of identity, a place where we are formed, informed, and then transformed.

Flying Lotus looks at origin through the lens of loss and longing to consider if the most powerful lessons are those that encourage us to return to the simplest version of our story.

Mickey Guyton, whose story is full of triumph in the face of rejection, unpacks origin with survival as her only point of reference.

Tobe Nwigwe, whose origins have led him far from his initial ambitions, recalls the path that led him to his true calling.

Doja Cat rediscovers her origin through a process of reinvention.

Camilo lives and breathes origin, not only as the source of everything he has ever known, but also as his most inspiring teacher.
