Genesis Owusu
Since his introduction with the Cardrive EP in 2017, Genesis Owusu has demonstrated his versatility and talent as both a rapper and vocalist on singles like ‘awomen, amen’, ‘Wit Da Team’ and ‘WUTD’. He has received an ARIA Awards nomination for Best Soul/R&B Release, amassed millions of digital streams, been played by triple j and proven himself an incredible performer at festivals like Splendour in the Grass, Meredith Music Festival, Groovin the Moo and St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival. All the while, his talent, vision and creativity have been unmatched.
With his debut album, Genesis Owusu has taken that trademark innovation to a new level. Surpassing genre and disrupting boundaries, Smiling With No Teeth is music in a league of its own.
Budjerah
For 18-year-old artist Budjerah Slabb, making music was an inevitability. Raised in a home full of instruments by a family whose time was split between playing in family bands and leading worship services in the local church, Budjerah has crafted a sound that melds the formative elements of gospel and soul, with contemporary pop and R'n'B. He found kinship with ARIA and J Award-winning artist Matt Corby, who produced his upcoming debut EP.
Earlier this year, PRICIE made her grand debut with the release of her powerful and charismatic single ‘too dang good’, leading the rapper, singer-songwriter to be labelled as one to watch. Now the Australia/Nigerian talent gives fans another taste of her fresh, slick and soulful sound, releasing ‘FRIENDZONE’, featuring Genesis Owusu.Known for her attitude towards self love and appreciation through her music, PRICIE continues to shed light on female empowerment.
Royel Otis
After living in New York, Royel returned home and started working in a bar, where he met Otis. After hanging around on a night out, Otis showed Roy some of the demos he had been working on. Royel started matching them with guitars and some Fat Boy Slim samples. The two started churning out tunes in Roy’s Bondi Beach sunroom, laying guitars over beats. Drawing inspiration from old Japanese city pop records and ‘90s nostalgia and produced by Julian Sudek, the guys sent their track off to the legendary mixer Dave Fridmann who agreed to mix their debut song. “Without You” is the duo’s shimmering debut single.
