Tash Sultana has never followed the script. The multi-instrumentalist, engineer, producer, singer-songwriter, and entrepreneur has built an extraordinary career on their own terms, one defined by boundless creativity, relentless determination, and an unshakable connection to their craft.

From their early days busking on Melbourne’s streets to commanding global stages and amassing billions of streams, Tash has forged a career built on innovation, authenticity, and undeniable talent.

The story began with a single spark: a guitar gifted by their grandfather at age three. From that moment, Tash’s world became music. Over the years, they taught themselves to over a dozen instruments, becoming a one-person orchestra whose groundbreaking looping skills would set them apart. Even designing their very own loop station with a small trusted team to take the technical pioneering to a whole new level. By 2016, their first release NOTION EP catapulted them to global stardom amassing millions of streams, gold and multi platinum selling singles for Jungle and Notion along with live bedroom recordings that almost broke the internet. But it was their debut album Flow State that truly introduced the world to an artist with a vision like no other, spawning Platinum singles like Mystik and Gold-certified Murder to the Mind, Salvation, Free Mind, Cigarettes and counting.

In 2021, Tash’s second album, Terra Firma, marked a new era of artistic growth. Debuting at #1 on the ARIA charts, it paired introspection with lush soundscapes, winning accolades like the Rolling Stone Australia Award for Best Single (Pretty Lady). The following year, their MTV Unplugged (Live in Melbourne) album offered fans an intimate glimpse into the artistry of an artist whose work is entirely self-produced, engineered, and mixed at their own Lonely Lands Studio. Tash’s MTV unplugged was the most watched out of any artist in the Aus-pacific region getting picked up by multiple stations and streaming services so over 180 million people.

2023’s SUGAR EP named after trialling medication for their ADHD (artificial happiness) captured yet another layer of Tash’s artistry. It was an experimental project that saw them approach music from a different place than ever before blending soundscapes and heartfelt more upbeat lyricism  in tracks like James Dean and Bitter Lovers featuring BJ The Chicago Kid. Alongside this musical evolution, Tash has expanded their role as a businessperson. Tash is the founder of Lonely Lands Agency, Lonely Lands Studio and recently launched Lonely Lands Liquids and The I Am Me Foundation. Tash has a focus on fostering new projects that reflect their passion for independence and authenticity.

In 2025, Tash Sultana steps boldly into a new era with Return to the Roots—a raw and fearless six-track EP that peels back the layers of fame and expectation to reconnect with the core of their artistry. A decade into their journey, Tash revisits the magic of their early looping days, blending nostalgic spontaneity with hard-earned wisdom. With a sound rooted in live energy and emotional truth, the EP explores themes of mental health, resilience, self-discovery, and the quiet power of authenticity. From stripped-back jams to deeply personal anthems, Return to the Roots isn’t just a reflection—it’s a reclamation. It marks a powerful return to the essence of who Tash is: an artist unbound by genre, pressure, or convention—just pure, unfiltered expression.

With a career spanning over a decade, Tash Sultana’s accomplishments speak volumes: selling out shows at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre (which sold out in 5 minutes presale), headlining major festivals, selling out global arenas, 15 ARIA nominations, and the 2023 Rolling Stone Global Artist Award. Yet, for Tash, the journey is far from over. With their unwavering drive to push creative boundaries and a focus on building a broader legacy as an entrepreneur and mentor, Tash continues to shape the industry on their own terms.

As Return To The Roots EP marks the beginning of a transformative year, Tash Sultana remains, as always, an artist in motion—creating, evolving, and inspiring a global audience along the way.

Budjerah is a platinum-selling, multi-ARIA Award-winning artist from the Gold Coast. His newest single, “Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense” pulsates with raw emotion and a powerhouse vocal performance. “I wanted to write songs with heaps of rhythm, a punchy beat, and big vocals,” he says.

Over the past three years, he’s amassed a staggering 50 million combined streams with “Therapy” achieving over 17.6 million on Spotify.

“Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense” came after a whirlwind few years for the artist. 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 15 in total, including five ARIA nominations in 2023 and two in 2024. 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. 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.”

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 recognised 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.”

Heralding a distinct blend of vulnerability and empowerment, and a growing reputation for honest lyrics and infectious melodies, Byron Bay based artist Kita Alexander’s natural gift for songwriting has earned her comparisons to Taylor Swift, with a polished pop delivery sending her straight to the airwaves.

Kita made headlines in the industry as one of Australia’s most exciting and promising artists in 2024 with her highly anticipated debut album, Young in Love, which Charted at #3 on Australian Album ARIA Chart. She received rave reviews for her sold out headline tour presented by triple j, and received an ARIA nomination for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist at the 2024 ARIA Awards. Last year also saw Kita supporting international sensation, Madison Beer on her sold out Australian tour.

After a stellar year, the singer is set to rise to even greater heights in 2025. At home on the stage, she’s featured on festival bills across the country, and has been announced to join international Grammy award winning artist, Dua Lipa on her sold-out Radical Optimism tour across Australia and New Zealand. On joining the tour, Kita says, “Touring with Dua is something that has been on my mind for a very long time. She delivers pure energy on stage and next-level pop performances. March and April is going to be such a party. I truly feel so lucky to have the opportunity to share my songs with fans, old and new, across Australia and New Zealand.” Following this tour she will travel to the UK for The Great Escape and a headline show in London.

Kita, now a platinum selling artist, released a string of EP’s in the lead up to her 2024 debut album. This includes Like You Want To, Hotel, and The One, which mapped out national airplay and introduced her as an emerging force in the Australian music industry. Over the years she has continued to evolve as an artist, and become known for music with emotional depth that blends indie-pop with breezy, nostalgic soundscapes reminiscent of coastal Australia. Internationally, Kita has signed to One Fiinix as European Agent joining a roster of artists that include Ed Sheeran, Go-Jo and Tash Sultana.

With an impressive catalog of acclaimed pop anthems, she has amassed over 300 million global streams, and accreditations including 2x ARIA Platinum (Hotel), Platinum (Between You & I) and Gold (Damage Done and Like You Want To).

Beyond her solo success, Kita Alexander has collaborated with prominent songwriters, producers and artists, allowing the accomplished performer to further refine her craft and reach new audiences. Her feature on FISHER’s global dance hit ‘Atmosphere’ hit #1 on the US radio dance charts, placed #14 in triple j’s Hottest 100, went viral on Tik Tok following its premiere at Coachella, is certified Gold in Australia and got nominated for ‘Best Single’ at the Rolling Stone Australia Awards. The track was amongst a string of singles Kita released in the lead up to her debut album, including the heart-warming country ballad ‘Date Night’ featuring Morgan Evans, the introspective ‘7 Minutes In Heaven’, dance-floor ready empowerment anthem ‘Queen’, and feel-good, girl-power duet ‘All Night ft. LAUREL’. Kita recently teamed up with Australian breakout producer CYRIL to release their irresistible collaboration ‘True’, an uplifting interpolation of Spandau Ballet’s iconic song.

A darling of both the music and fashion world, Kita has graced the pages of Vogue, Harper’s BAZAAR, RUSSH, Gritty Pretty, NME, Rolling Stone and Billboard. Kita has also fronted campaigns for major international beauty brands including Maybelline New York, Estée Lauder and Lancôme.

Known for her heartfelt lyrics, sun-soaked melodies, and distinctive pop sensibility, Kita Alexander is on the fast track to become Australia’s next big pop star.

For fans, this album offers a refreshing callback to The Cat Empire’s earlier days, while showcasing the wisdom and musicality they’ve honed over two decades.

Born in Canada and now based in Byron Bay, Australia, Kato has generated over 200 million streams worldwide, building a reputation as one of indie-folk’s most compelling voices.
