KYMIE

Hailing from South Africa via Western Sydney, singer KYMIE (pron. Kim-mee) channels powerfully woven, dynamic lyricism laced with ambition and flair. Her trap-influenced sound brings to mind artists like Tkay Maidza, Doja Cat, and Princess Nokia.

Ruby Jackson

Ruby Jackson is an R&B Pop artist based in Sydney Australia. Her sound pays homage to her influences like Lily Allen and Olivia Dean, but consistently in her own way. Ruby’s unique approach to story telling and signature authentic vocal sets her apart as one of the most original sounds in Australian R&B.

Chanel Loren

British Caribbean artist Chanel Loren has been hailed by VICE as a ‘A defier of genres and a boundary pusher’, likened to SZA, Jorja Smith and PinkPantheress. South-East London born & raised, Chanel studied at the famed BRIT School, before moving to Australia in her late teens.

DEVAURA

New Zealand born, Australian-based artist DEVAURA broke onto the scene with her well-received, soulful Pop/R&B debut 'Deeper Waters' in June 2023 and has had continous support in the UK via Shell Zenner on Amazing Radio, and local Australian music scene champions FBi radio and triple j. She continues to maintain a strong sense of self and purpose, affirmed by her love of story telling, community, and authentic expressions, especially in music.

Tawanda

A creator of self-expression, authenticity, and transparency, Tawanda declares it all. He chooses to be vulnerable with his audience through his daring and overzealous music.

Boomchild

Boomchild is a collective of artists who moved from bedroom jams to main stages in a matter of a few short years. They've described their music as a love child of Stevie Wonder and Kaytranada. Collectively, the crew have jammed alongside the likes of Young Franco, Hermitude and The Rubens and collaborated on tracks with the likes of Agung Mango, BOY SODA, Maina Doe and Horrorshow.
