This indie band hailing from LA sounds like they could be featured on The O.C if it were still on the air today. It feels like a band Seth Cohen would listen to.

It would be a missed opportunity if I didn’t promote my own music. If you’re into artists similar to Waxahatchee or Madi Diaz, you may like my music.

I met Kacie at a Folk Music night, where we both shared the stage. She’s a beautiful blend of folk and indie-singer songwriter. For fans of Maggie Rogers, Joni Mitchell and Pinegrove.

One of my favourite alternative folk artists from South Africa, now residing in Australia. Their lyrics are very raw, honest and vulnerable. I’ve shed a tear or two listening to Ruby’s music.

Rozi released one of my fav records in 2023. ‘Prize’ was completely underrated. An incredible songwriter with unique production. This is totally my cup of tea.

What I love about Gia, is that she creates some of the loveliest music and rarely uses social media. She has folk/singer-songwriter music as well as ambient instrumental records. She could easily score an independent film. A stunning musician worth k...

We need more rock bands with female singers. This is my fav rock band right now! I discovered them through Hayley Williams a few years back and haven’t stopped listening. I saw them play live in 2024 and they were even better than I imagined.

I discovered this band on Tiktok and am obsessed with their melodies. It’s nonchalant in the best way possible. For fans of indie-rock and midwestern emo.

A little bit of country, a little bit of folk, Liv is an artist to watch. Her latest record Deep Feeler is some of her best work yet.
