Since they broke through into the Australian music scene more than a decade ago, Tash Sultana has been nothing less than a musical force. 

The gender-fluid multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer-songwriter, engineer and entrepreneur has carved out every step in their musical journey over the last 15 years, which has taken them from performing open night mics all over the country, busking the streets of Melbourne to releasing platinum records, accumulating billions of streams, nominations across the globe, to winning awards and selling hundreds of thousands of concert tickets worldwide. 

Tash creates, composes, writes, engineers and produces everything that is heard live, and on record. Tash is the band. Their now-famous busking sessions on Melbourne’s Bourke Street catapulted them into the eyes and ears of music fans everywhere, and a viral video of their early song ‘Jungle’ brought them international attention. Since then, it’s been nothing but a meteoric rise. 

Their debut album Flow State landed in 2018 and quickly became Gold certified, and spawned Platinum and Gold records with singles ‘Mystik’ and ‘Murder to the Mind’. 

In 2019 alone, Tash sold more than 500,000 concert tickets globally, and over the years they’ve notched up major international appearances at festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Montreal Jazz Festival. 

Acclaimed second record Terra Firma landed in 2021, and garnered widespread praise for Tash’s raw and reflective songwriting and ambitious musical arrangements. Like everything before it, the entirety of the record was carved by Tash – every instrument that was played, every bit of musical arrangement, every bit of production. But for the first time, Terra Firma saw Tash bring in a couple of close friends and collaborations to co-write – including Matt Corby, Dann Hume, Jerome Farah, and Josh Cashman. 

Their extensive catalog has nearly broken the internet, having raked in billions of streams and counting. 

2023 sees Tash release the first music from a new era of Tash Sultana. 

As an inimitable vocalist, clever lyricist, deft producer, and inventive creator, Tones And I stretches the scope of pop music with unpredictable and undeniable anthems of her own design. Since exploding onto the global scene in 2019 as a busker from the Mornington Peninsula, Australia, she has smashed records, garnered multiple awards, sold out tours, surpassed 12 billion streams and reached multi-platinum heights around the world.

Her breakout “Dance Monkey” went 6x platinum in the United States, is the most Shazamed, minted her as “the first female artist to reach 3 billion streams on Spotify with one song,” and has consistently held a spot in the “Top 10 Most-Streamed Songs of All-Time on Spotify.” Her 2019 EP, The Kids Are Coming, crashed the Top 30 of the Billboard 200 and is certified Gold. Meanwhile, Tones And I’s full-length debut, Welcome To The Madhouse, toppled the Australian Albums Chart at #1 in 2021.

Among five career ARIA Awards, “Cloudy Day” closed out 2022 as ARIA’s “Song of the Year.” Beyond selling out shows on multiple continents, she has graced the worlds biggest stages, and has delivered stunning performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, TODAY, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and many more. Along the way, she has also collaborated with Macklemore, blackbear, Jonas Blue, Sam Feldt and BIA, in addition to contributing music to NETFLIX’s True Spirit and the blockbuster sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Taking the helm, she personally shapes her vision by not only writing and performing, but also producing and directing visuals. Tones And I is a creative force and never stops pushing forward.

Tones’ highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Beautifully Ordinary’ is out now.

Budjerah returns in 2024 with his explosive new single, “Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense.” Fresh off the platinum-selling success of “Therapy,” the multi-ARIA Award-winning artist from the Gold Coast returns with his most soaring vocals yet, gearing up for his biggest headline tour of Australia.

“Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense” pulsates with raw emotion and a powerhouse vocal performance. Budjerah craved a sound that delivered a “punch in the face.”

“I wanted to write songs with heaps of rhythm, a punchy beat, and big vocals,” he says.

As if by fate, fellow Aussie musician G-Flip called Budjerah out of the blue, inviting him to collaborate. “They’re the perfect person for punch-you-in-the-face music,” Budjerah says, and it’s clear he’s not wrong.

The artistic chemistry between Budjerah and G-Flip, renowned for their electrifying live shows, takes centre stage here. Together, they’ve crafted a stadium-ready anthem primed for mass singalongs.

Budjerah has meticulously built a captivating discography. Following “Therapy” and “Video Game” (co-written with Meg Mac and Matt Corby) in 2023, he’s eager to unleash new material after a period of self-discovery in Los Angeles. “Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense,” however, was born in G-Flip’s hometown of Melbourne.

While the song initially explored Budjerah’s struggles with quitting coffee, it morphed into a broader expression of frustration – catchy as it is cathartic.

“It’s been a pretty confusing time in my life,” Budjerah admits. “I’m still drinking coffee, and that don’t make no sense, and neither does anything else that I have to deal with.”

Together Budjerah and G Flip have masterfully crafted something that feels universally relatable. Anyone who’s ever felt like they’re banging their head against a wall will connect with Budjerah’s biggest chorus yet – a soaring release that explodes with his signature vocals. It’s a testament to his relentless evolution as a vocalist and a clear sign of things to come.

“Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense” arrives after a whirlwind few years for the artist, culminating in a massive 2023. Mentored by Matt Corby, Budjerah has blossomed into one of Australia’s most beloved new voices. Already an ARIA Award winner (Breakthrough Artist in 2021 and Best Soul/R&B Release in 2022), he’s been nominated for 13 in total, including five ARIA nominations in 2023. He’s also an APRA Award recipient (Most Performed R&B / Soul Work for “Higher”) and, in 2022, he was named GQ Australia’s Breakthrough Artist.

He’s not just an award darling; he’s a captivating performer who has won over audiences at Splendour In The Grass, Spilt Milk, and For The Love. Last year, he opened for Ed Sheeran on his sold-out stadium tour after collaborating with Sheeran on 2022’s “2Step”. On top of that, he sold out his own headline show at the Sydney Opera House for VIVID Live.

He also achieved a career highlight performing with the legendary Kylie Minogue at the QANTAS gala. Speaking of Australian icons, Budjerah contributed the theme song to Baz Luhrmann’s 2023 television series, “Faraway Downs.”

Over the past three years, he’s amassed a staggering 50 million combined streams with “Therapy” achieving over 15 million on Spotify.

With his biggest headline tour looming, it feels like an unstoppable time for Budjerah.

Budjerah’s ambition burns brightly. Inspired by legends like John Farnham and Beyoncé, he envisions himself commanding arenas with powerhouse vocals and intricate choreography. This ambition is balanced by a genuine stage presence. He describes a process of bridging his natural shyness with an “on-stage character” that allows him to fully connect with the audience.

“On stage, there’s a fire in me,” he says. “And I think that’s why I love performing so much. Because there’s a part of me inside that just wants to come out. And that’s when I feel like you get the full view of me as a whole person.”

Looking back at his debut single, “Missing You,” released just over three years ago, it’s clear Budjerah has come a long way. Corby recognized his raw talent early on, mentoring him through his early releases – his self-titled debut in 2021 and “Conversations” in 2022. Since then, he’s collaborated with diverse artists like PNAU and MAY-A, proving his versatility and ability to excel in various musical landscapes. With each release, his confidence has grown, evident in the self-assured lyrics of tracks like “Ready For The Sky.”

With “Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense,” Budjerah proves he’s more than ready to capitalise on the momentum.

After generating over 215 million streams and captivating audiences worldwide, the Canada-born and Australia-based platinum-certified artist and producer continues to go from strength to strength.

Garrett Kato’s signature acoustic brilliance takes centerstage, creating a raw and authentic sonic experience.

‘Are You Ok?’ navigates the delicate balance between vulnerability and empowerment, blending folk, indie and pop elements to create a sound that resonates with the depth of the human experience.

Wanderlust brought Garrett from Canada to Byron Bay where he eventually married, started a family, and made a home. Simultaneously, his artistry evolved through careful commitment to the craft.

“I was definitely exploring,” he admits. “It opened more possibilities, and the production is aesthetically bigger. I wanted to try something more adventurous and embrace different vibes. I stepped out of the folk singer-songwriter genre and into pop, lo-fi, and old school sounds. Rather than approaching this as a ‘collection’, I’d finish one song and move onto the next from scratch. Each track grabs a snippet of a moment in time.”

Garrett’s collaboration with Swedish singer-songwriter ELINA on the track ‘Never Alone’ has been a great success, with over 7 million streams, a continuous 700,000 streams a month, and seeing his global audience growing rapidly.
