TASH SULTANA is an explosive global producer and artist who has commanded attention worldwide since homemade videos went viral on YouTube. ‘Tash’ was soon selling out major arenas, a string of sold out world tours and headlining the world’s biggest festivals – no mean feat for an artist who just a year before was recording songs on a go pro in a bedroom back in 2016.

Since Tash’s grandfather gifted a guitar at the age of three, the artist developed a love for self-teaching an array of different instruments around the guitar knowledge which they had been taught as a young kid during primary school. Quickly developing a unique style that has seen Tash breaking record attendances around the world.

Tash plays over 12 instruments (guitar, bass, drums/ percussion, piano/ keyboard/ synth/ Oud, trumpet, saxophone, flutes, Pan pipes, Sitar, harmonica, beat production) with guitar as their main love, a self-trained vocal that reaches over a 7 key range and a live show that needs to be seen to be believed. The one-person powerhouse started out playing open mic nights at age 13 with the help of a fake ID. Soon to finish school with the reluctance to get a ‘real’ job, took to the streets to busk every day of the week on Melbourne’s famous Bourke St back in 2009-2015. That was the beginning of the local traction following Tash. Soon to reach a worldwide global scale in the years following to present.

Recent accolades include over 1 Billion combined streams, an ARIA award for Blues and Roots Album of The Year with ‘Flow State’, smash single ‘Jungle’ coming in at #3 in triple j’s Hottest 100, achieving multi-platinum sales for the Notion EP, double platinum sales for ‘Jungle’ and platinum sales for ‘Notion’ along with numerous gold certified singles and a certified gold debut album. All self-produced, self-composed, and self-arranged. Tash was the only artist to sell out 3 Brixton Academy shows before their debut album along with selling another 500,000 tickets worldwide which recently culminated in a sold out performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Greek Amphitheatre, with noted stand out sets at Coachella & Lollapalooza.

Tash’s album TERRA FIRMA is out now Worldwide.

Originally from Australia’s Mornington Peninsula, Tones And I journeyed to Byron Bay in early 2018 to take a chance at busking. On the first day she had crowds spilling onto the street, so Tones quit her retail job and decided to make Byron her new home where she lived out of her van for the year. The genesis of her global smash “Dance Monkey” can be traced back to those performances. Born as a response to hecklers, the song poetically made history multiple times in the wake of its release. Capturing #1 in 30 countries around the world, Tones And I emerged as the most dominant artist ever in the history of the ARIA singles chart, spending a record breaking 24 weeks at #1. “Dance Monkey” became the most Shazamed single of all time, the most-streamed song ever by a female artist on Spotify, and the first Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hit solely written by a woman since 2012. Clocking over 7 billion streams, it went quadruple-platinum in the US and garnered multi platinum or diamond certifications in 15 other countries, going 11-times platinum in Australia. “Dance Monkey” featured on Tones And I’s RIAA gold certified debut EP The Kids Are Coming alongside standout single “Never Seen The Rain.” The collection earned her four major wins at Australia’s ARIA Awards including: “Breakthrough Artist,” “Best Female Artist,” “Best Pop Release,” and “Best Independent Release,” with Tones And I also winning the 2020 International Songwriting Competition (ISC) and “Song Of The Year” and “Breakthrough Songwriter” at the APRA Music Awards. Plus, she delivered performances around the globe on her sold-out world tour, while making appearances at international festivals as well on major network TV shows including: The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Voice, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Today Show. Everything set the stage for her 2021 full-length debut album, Welcome To The Madhouse. Tones And I preserved the integrity of her vision as the sole songwriter and co-producer on all 14 tracks, opening up about her journey thus far and beaming out a sweet homage to her late best friend T. She preceded the record with “Fly Away” before delivering an upbeat affirmation on the sky scraping single “Cloudy Day.” Welcome To The Madhouse is yet another step on her magical journey from the streets to the stratosphere.

An introspective singer-songwriter, Riley Pearce often writes about his difficulty coping with change and his love-hate relationship with nostalgia. With family spread across the globe and his own stretches of living in a number of different cities, Riley’s lyrics reflect that all too human need for connection. His honest songwriting, and relatable storytelling has resonated both in Australia and overseas, with over 60 million streams to date. An in-demand live touring artist, Riley has sold out headline shows around the world and supported the likes of The Paper Kites, Lord Huron, Tash Sultana, Lifehouse and Lucy Rose.

After a long lockdown in Melbourne, Riley moved back to his hometown of Perth in 2021. He immediately began writing an album, with the first taste coming this October courtesy of ‘8 Hour Drive’.

“I toured with Garrett Kato in 2019 and the shows were a mixed bag of being amazing and truly inspiring and leaving us questioning why we played in that town. I was writing postcards back home to my fiancé and trying to ‘take her with me’ as much as I could. Looking back on it now in a post pandemic world, it really has changed how I view that trip,” says Riley.

“It was such an amazing opportunity that I didn’t fully appreciate at the time now that I’m missing travel and shows. It’s so incredible driving in Europe and all the different cultures you witness. 8 Hour Drive is all about this trip and reflecting back on it in a new light.”

For years now twin brothers Jack and Patrick Pierce’s high energy duo Pierce Brothers has been a staple of the Australian indie- folk/ blues & roots scene, captivating festival goers and headlining sold out venues the world over. Exploding onto the world stage in 2014, the brothers started their journey as buskers on Bourke street (alongside other incredible busking acts Tash Sultana and Tones and I), and soon became a must-see act selling out 3 Corner Hotels with the release of their breakout EP The Night Tree in 2014.

Shortly after, on the back of the success of The Night Tree, the pair played their first European set at Lowlands Festival in 2014. Soon the Melbourne duo began a steady journey building audiences and selling out shows all over the world, supporting artists the likes of The Cat Empire, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Tones and I, and Tash Sultana just to name a few.

Having established themselves as an integral part of the music scene in Australia and abroad, the brothers have toured relentlessly – honing their craft and gaining fans across the globe as they go. The band’s music has grown with them over the years and has seen them release a top 15 ARIA debut album (Atlas Shoulders, coming in at #13) and two Top 10 ARIA EPs (The Records Were Ours and Into The Dirt), and have received over 30 million global streams, as well as over 2 million YouTube views.

The pair recently lived out their dream of headlining a maxed-out Forum Theatre in their hometown of Melbourne, before taking on a massive world tour, headlining venues all over the globe, playing arenas supporting Tash Sultana, as well as massive AAA festivals in North America, Europe, and Australia.
During the 2020 lockdown the boys retreated into the studio for 6 weeks and created their most ambitious record yet, completing their as yet untitled sophomore album entirely self-funded and releasing 100% independently early 2021.

In early 2020 they contributed to the bushfires relief fund by presenting their own benefits at Corner Hotel and 170 Russell in Melbourne, both of which sold out in 24 hours and raising over $90,000, as well as performing an impromptu show at Wilson’s Promontory, raising another $6700.

In 2021 they will be appearing at Bluesfest Byron Bay shortly after the release of Into The Great Unknown, before setting forth on their biggest Australian regional tour to date. Returning to venues in all 7 states & territories after spending 2020 in lockdown and most of 2019 touring North America and Europe.

The second single from the album, DENTIST, is available worldwide September 25, 2020.

Maddy Jane is an independent singer-songwriter from the small island town of Bruny Island, Tasmania.

Telling it like it is since 2017; Maddy’s honest lyrics and captivating song writing have earned her a regular spot on triple j’s airways and a place on huge arena tours supporting the likes of Harry Styles and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

With millions of streams for breakout tracks ‘Thank You and Sorry’ and ‘No Other Way’, Maddy’s ironic and direct storytelling is resonating across the globe.

After two years of heavy touring and sold out shows, Maddy bunked down in the studio and released her debut full-length album, ‘Not All Bad Or Good’ on May 1. The record scored triple j’s feature album and saw Maddy perform hit single ‘Perfection’s a Thing and You’re It’ for triple j’s Like a Version.

In the Northern NSW town of Lismore, the “purple house” was a local landmark in the nineties. It’s here where Georgia Mae grew up surrounded by colour – a green kitchen, blue bedroom and yellow living room. It’s also here where Mae shaped her eclectic taste in music listening to Pink Floyd, Crowded House and Kate Bush, where she started taking piano lessons and where she learnt the art of storytelling from her writer mother.

​“In a way, the purple house shaped me as a person; it taught me to not be afraid of being colourful or standing out,” says Mae.

At age four, Mae wrote her very first song sitting at the piano in the purple house. The song was called ‘Love Tree’ and Mae still remembers the chords and lyrics:

​When I look into your eyes
I see the colour of the sky
And sometimes I see you and me
Together in a Love Tree

Since her early days as a lyrical prodigy in Lismore, music has taken Mae to Brisbane where she studied at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music and was nominated for the state’s ‘Most Promising Female Songwriter’ and ‘Best Female Pop Artist’ at the Queensland Music Awards in 2016.

It’s also taken her overseas; to Los Angeles where she landed a role as a writer and recording artist on television shows including Keeping Up With The Kardashians, to San Francisco where she worked in sound design at the illustrious Skywalker Sound and Warner Bros. Studios, and to the Arizona desert where the rumblings of her debut EP first stirred.

In 2019, Georgia signed a record deal with Lemon Tree Records via Sony Music Entertainment Australia and got to work releasing singles. 

​Georgia’s next single, Gentle, could be mistaken for a pop hit about young love, but it’s actually an ode to Mother Earth and a rally cry for action on the Climate Crisis. The track starts on Mae’s “parent’s porch back home” thinking about what it would have been like 10,000 years ago when the sky was clearer, the reef was alive, and the bush wasn’t burnt.

Known for wise-beyond-his-years contemplations on life and love, singer-songwriter and platinum-award winning producer Garrett Kato’s warm style of indie-folk is the soothing tonic we all need.

A string of powerful releases including his latest EP “Kumamoto” and sophomore album “hemispheres” has seen him perform sold-out shows alongside Damien Rice and Ziggy Alberts and amass over 83 million worldwide streams.

On his latest single “Disappearing Light” – a song written deep within the global turmoil of 2021, Garrett highlights the importance of perspective.

“I wanted to write a song to remind myself that not everything in life will go to plan and it’s easier if you accept the changes with open arms. Almost like a trance, I was swept up with all the craziness of the world. It’s nice to find some peace in the world I see, not the world the media wants me to see.”

Australian tastemaker station triple j dubbed him as the “producer and musician behind some of the most prominent sounds coming out the Byron Bay’s booming buskers scene” and rightly so; Garrett has worked with a string of iconic Aussie artists including Julia Stone, Ziggy Alberts, Dami Im, Tones and I, Busby Marou, Pete Murray, Kyle Lionhart, Riley Pearce, Jack Botts and more.

“Disappearing Light” is the first offering of a larger body of work, which Garrett says thematically is “a collection of songs that is more of a conversation with myself above all else”.

Honey vocals, dreamy synth and vibrant guitar riffs are fast becoming the signature of indie four-piece Death by Denim.

Formed in Perth in 2016, the band is made up of close friends, Palle Mazzulla, Nikolas Ilidias, George Gunson and Hamish Macarthur.

Breakout single ‘Wiggy’ made waves in 2019; a sensory escapade that saw the band hit number 3 on the triple j most played charts and ink a global management deal with Lemon Tree Music. Three national tours and a heap of sold out shows later, the band returned to WA to record their debut album,‘Sleepless and Sunkissed’.

Album singles ‘Homemade’, ‘Out of Habit’ and ‘Caged’ were all added to high rotation on triple j and the band made the top 50 of both the triple j and triple j Unearthed most played artists of 2020. In the same year, Death by Denim signed to Paradigm Talent Agency under Tom Taaffe (UK/Europe) and Rob Zifarelli (North America). The band were then selected to be a part of the BIGSOUND 50 and showcased at SXSW’s first digital festival.

2021 sees Death by Denim selling out their national tour for ‘Sleepless and Sunkissed’ and hitting 1 million streams each for hit tracks ‘Wiggy’ and ‘Cigarettes and Honey’. This year they’ve released emotional single ‘Small World’, pulsating and high energy party-starter ‘Cause a Scene’ and latest hit ‘Feels Like Fiction’ from their hotly anticipated sophomore album ‘Moonbow’.

Produced by his collaborator and artistic confidante Matt Corby, on Wash My Sorrows Away, ARIA award winning Budjerah’s luminous vocals smoothly glide over the lo-fi production to elevate the track to spiritual proportions.

“Wash My Sorrows Away is my teenage heartbreak song. Everyone has tough times and we all have our own ways of dealing with sadness, and this song tells what it’s like for me when I’m in those situations. If I’m ever having a tough time I like to go home and get into the ocean, whether it’s surfing or just diving under for a few seconds, it helps me get out of my own head. ‘You know I try to keep myself out of mind’. It’s also about wanting to be with someone in particular, someone that takes up that space in your head ‘But I still keep you inside,’” muses Budjerah.

The new song comes off the back of news of 5 x ARIA nominations – including for Best Artist, Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist and Best Soul/RNB Release; as well as a NIMA win for Best New Talent.

Musically, the song follows on from his gleaming, soulful single Talk feat. MAY-A – an appeal to look up, take a beat, take a breath, and reconnect with your loved ones. The track is a joyful, much-needed tonic for a world riddled with misunderstanding and miscommunication and takes a clear cue from his idols and antecedents Sam Cooke and The Clark Sisters — patron saints of clarity and honesty.

He might be young, but there’s always been something wise-beyond-his-years about Budjerah. The Coodjinburra musician’s debut, self-titled EP, released earlier in 2021, displayed an aptitude for the sheen and indelibility of old-school soul singers, a quality that spoke to the classic records he was raised on growing up in coastal New South Wales.

Budjerah’s phenomenal run commenced in October 2020 with his acclaimed debut single Missing You, which landed the #1 most played position on triple j, and soon followed with his runaway hit single Higher, which achieved Top 30 national airplay.    Budjerah performed on The Sound, Music From The Home Front, and at the AFL Dreamtime match; and collaborated with dance music superstars PNAU. He announced a partnership with Warner Records US, was named an Apple Music Up Next artist and most recently was selected as  one of the artists from around the globe for #YouTubeBlack Voices Artist Class of 2022.

Budjerah’s personal highlights include supporting local luminaries including The Avalanches, Thelma Plum, Jack River and Lime Cordiale, and performing to a sold out crowd in Sydney who sang along adoringly to all his songs. “It was always my dream come true to perform to hundreds of people, and now it’s right in front of me,” Budjerah says. It makes sense: Budjerah’s music makes dreams feel like shining, tactile reality.

Hailing from the Northern Beaches of Sydney Monatomic is the musical duo of lifelong friends Tarran Webster and Steffan Lazar. Since they were 6 these two have been writing, recording, and playing music together each bringing their own style to the mix. For Tarran, guitar has been the influential focal point through bands like Sabbath and Zeppelin while Steffan comes from a long line of pianists starting with his great grandfather who was a respected composer in Eastern Europe.

These contrasting influences have come together to create a distinctive sound that got the attention of the multi-billion streaming artist Tones and I for her “That One Song” competition in 2020 which Monatomic took home the top prize. Just another example the global attention and traction they’ve been gaining which also included a night in Beverly Hills with Woody Harrelson.

Monatomic’s latest single “Let’s Move” is about feeling free and expressing oneself.  “The track was created during the lockdowns and came from missing the feeling of going out to a club or festival and just rocking out to your favourite music. It’s about dancing like no one is watching and the euphoria between a band artist or DJ and yourself. Something we are all craving after being cooped up at home for so long.”
