WA: And Beyond
An electronic hip-hop duo of brothers from Perth, delivering a high energy fusion of hard hitting bars and raw electro punk grit. And Beyond capture a commanding sonic landscape exploring deep simulated digital realities.
VIC: Wild Gloriosa
A Tamil artist from Geelong, blending neo-soul and jazz into music that is rich, intimate, and emotionally direct. Backed by powerful vocals, Wild Gloriosa draws influences from classic soul traditions while bringing a distinctly modern and personal perspective.
TAS: Grace Chia
Winner of the Australian Women in Music Award's SSI Diversity in Music Award 2025, Grace Chia is one of Tasmania’s most exciting emerging artists. Packed with punchy bars, soulful melodies and introspective lyrics, she uses her music to inspire the change she wants to see.
SA: Maybe Hugo
An Adelaide-based multi-instrumentalist whose music captures a modern twist on alternative soul. Originally a saxophonist, he now weaves his wide instrumental palette into a sound that blends vintage warmth with contemporary edge.
QLD: Denvah
One of the most compelling new voices in Australian country music. Hailing from Rockhampton and based in Southport, her sound is rooted in classic country but blends in modern lyrical perspectives and storytelling that resonates far beyond traditional genre lines.
NSW: LIQUID ZOO
A Sydney five-piece rock band delivering sweaty, high-energy shows built on hook-heavy vocals and explosive live energy. Their sound channels the swagger of The Strokes, the grit of early Kings of Leon, with the explosive intensity of Amyl and the Sniffers.
NT: Mertas
A punk band from the remote community of Nhulunbuy in Arnhem Land. They deliver high-energy punk shaped by isolation, coastline and community character. Mertas represent a distinct voice from regional Australia: unapologetic, loud and loose.
ACT: Tahalianna
A proud Wiradjuri and Tongan soulful R&B and hip-hop artist. Tahalianna first gained national attention competing on The Voice in 2022 at just 15 years old. She has since performed at many major venues and events, and we eagerly await an official music release!
