WHAT IT IS: Heralded by NME, Ed Sheeran, Vogue Australia, Triple J, Pigeons and Planes, Hilly Dilly and Pilerats as a major new talent, this soulful singer/songwriter is focused and completely in the moment with his catchy, R&B-laced electronic music. The Aussie native has been nominated for five ARIA Awards. Single by single, listener by listener and show by show, the global pop world is coming around to his way of thinking. “I like the idea of reconnecting people with simple songs, bringing them back to why they liked music in the first place,” he explains. “If I can evoke an emotion in someone, I’m stoked. That’s all that matters.”
