Ones To Watch At BIGSOUND 2024
Live Nation’s Ones To Watch showcase at BIGSOUND 2024 presents a trio of the hottest rising talents from Australia and New Zealand.
This year’s lineup of Ones To Watch artists features Georgia Lines, J. Tajor and Ishan bringing their best to The Outpost in Fortitude Valley.
Garnering critical acclaim as a songwriter and storyteller in 2024 with the release of debut album ‘The Rose of Jericho’, Aotearoa’s Georgia Lines is one of the scene’s most prominent new voices.
Swiftly becoming a household name in Aotearoa in 2022, Georgia has enjoyed a prolific rise as a performer not only in NZ, but abroad in North America – wowing crowds across two tours in 2023 and 2024, including a well-received showcase run at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
As one of Australia’s fastest growing R&B artists, J. Tajor has become a certified phenomenon in 2024 with his unique sound and presence online. Becoming a viral sensation on TikTok with the release of his breakout single ‘Like I Do’, J. Tajor accrued 10 billion views for the track on the social media platform.
Acoustic pop-folk artist Ishan is a performer who has been developing his craft from a young age and in recent years, has become a dynamic name that has been capturing the attention of a rapidly growing audience.
The 21 year old Melbourne-based performer has honed his skills and built a strong following early off the back of acclaimed busking performances and by sharing performances online. The release of Ishan’s debut EP ‘The Cycle of Codependence’ in 2023 demonstrated his potential and staying power.
The Ones To Watch showcase celebrates the incoming crop of local artists, having supported 28 Australian artists since 2021, elevating the profiles of musicians including Blake Rose, Carla Webhe, Forest Claudette, Teenage Joans, Sophisticated Dingo, Saint Lane, Hoodzy and more.
Live Nation’s One To Watch showcase takes place at The Outpost (Fortitude Valley, Brisbane) 4 September as part of BIGSOUND 2024.
‘Become What You Are’, the new album from The Daisycutters is available now via MADCAP Global Music, JB Hi-Fi and independent music retailers.
