Hailing from Auckland, this New Zealand singer and songwriter began experimenting with writing songs at the age of 12 as a form of self-expression. Once he had built up a collection of songs, he started performing them at open mic nights. Although that did help honing his craft, he became completely obsessed with music when he got an internship at Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios. Inspired by The Beatles, Bon Iver and Frank Ocean, he released his debut “Where Do We Go” in 2022.
Written from a reminiscent daydream about the time he met his partner for the first time and the excitement of not knowing where it might lead, his new single is an introspective dreamy soundscape. Taken from his upcoming EP “Beacon Hill”, expected to drop later in the year, the song captures the ebb and flow of soft melodic waves. With a mellow rhythm, gentle guitars and smooth keys sounding like a warm embrace, it’s his ethereal vocals that fill it with a timeless soulfulness.

Based in Melbourne, this Australian singer and songwriter has been singing and writing music since she was a child and grew up with the timeless sounds of jazz and soul. At 15 she met her hero, soul singer Renee Geyer, who became her mentor. They toured all around the country, honing her skills along the way. She also released music as part of the band Dorsal Fins and duo GL. Inspired by The Shangri-Las, Thee Sacred Souls and Lee Fields, she released her debut “Snow” in 2018.
With haunting lyrics about the missed signs of danger in a broken relationship, her new single balances her words with a spooky, jazz-infused, soulscape. Taken from her upcoming album “Ripple On The Wing”, expected on November 15th, the track starts with an imposing piano, before being joined by a robust beat and repeated guitar chords. And with the delectable horns and her commanding vocals, this is a retro-touched slice of intense, soul-filled sonic empowerment.
