Melbourne-based country/folk rock singer-songwriter Leo Nazz continues to share compelling personal stories as he reveals his eponymous debut EP which is a collection of semi-autobiographical stories bridging the gap between imagery and lyricism. Exploring themes such as relationships, single parenting, and living with somebody who suffers from a mental health illness in his debut EP, Leo aims to bring to light issues that many of us have to deal with in life.

"I'm one of you, we are all in this life together, we shall not lose heart & we shall be alright," - Leo Nazz.

Leo's ability to write relatable songs through emotive lyric writing and fabulous use of imagery is a true standout. This year saw the artist feature at the 2022 Aireys Inlet Festival, release two new singles, perform a number of local shows, and will see him performing more around Melbourne for the rest of the year.

Oscar LaDell, 23, was born in the US and raised in Purakaunui, Dunedin. A second-generation musician, Oscar started out playing standards in bars around Dunedin, featuring songs by Muddy Waters, BB King and Guitar Slim. Over the years, funk, rock, soul, R&B and more have found their way into Oscar’s music. 

In the space of one of LaDell’s original songs, the sound can range from a gentle slow dance to explosive and hypnotic guitar solos. Oscar’s powerful and expressive guitar playing and soulful singing act as one to create a sound that is both reminiscent of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and fresh. 

Oscar is now based in Melbourne, Australia and has many exciting projects and shows slated for the upcoming year.
