Rueben De Melo
Reuben De Melo is an Australian indie folk singer-songwriter and winner of The Voice Australia 2024.
Reuben De Melo, born in 1993 in Goa, India, moved to Perth, Australia, at the age of 10 or 11, and is of Goan descent
. He began his music career with the release of his debut EP, Consumed, in 2018, and gained recognition with his 2020 single, "Sweet Oblivion," which has over 4.5 million streams on Spotify
. Balancing his music with work as a mining industry rigger, De Melo’s songs often explore themes of love, struggle, and resilience
Shannon Smith
Shannon Smith is a Perth-based singer-songwriter whose music blends Americana, folk-rock, soul-pop and country storytelling into something deeply personal and hard to pin to one genre.
Recognised by the WA Country Music Awards as Male Artist of the Year, Emerging Artist of the Year and Video Clip of the Year, Shannon’s songs reach well beyond country. His debut album Out of the Shadows reached #4 on the ARIA Australian Country Albums Chart and #2 on the AIR Independent Albums Chart, while his songwriting has also received Australian Songwriters Association recognition.
In solo acoustic mode, Shannon brings the songs back to their rawest form — voice, guitar and story — sharing music shaped by love, honesty, redemption and the courage it takes to step out of the shadows.
Dave Mann
Dave Mann is a well-known songwriter and performer in his home state of WA.
Dave has supported artists such as Jeff Martin (The Tea Party),The Whitlam’s, Pete Murray, The Cat Empire, Eric Bibb, Thirsty Merc, Jeff Lang, Diesel and Lior. Dave Mann Collective has also played major Australian festivals including the West Coast Blues And Roots Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Fairbridge Festival, Blues at Bridgetown, Folk Rhythm & Life and Peat’s Ridge Festivals to name a few.
As front man, Dave commands a striking stage presence; not only for his towering stature, but moreover for his impressive dynamism. He can morph from his laid-back folk crooner persona - with a voice that melts into musical nirvana- to the energetic burst of the iconic pub-rock front man, belting out an impassioned cry as if his life depends on it! Coupled with his battle-scarred acoustic guitar as his weapon of choice, Dave delivers his bittersweet songs with musical virtuosity and red-raw emotion. The songs themselves are artistic gems in the tradition of the timeless classics: strong, memorable hooks; heart-felt, profound lyrics that depict Dave’s autobiographical take on life. From the uniquely poetic view of the everyday, thru to the weighty narrative of social/political issues. No matter what format, Dave is highly individual in his expression… in every aspect, one can feel the ache, the elation and the passion of his beliefs all presented by a seasoned well-travelled artist whose style still remains fresh & constantly evolving, yet instantly recognizable. There is always a resonance of familiarity - with soaring melodies channelled from the musical “ether” and then set in stone.
