A dose of ‘00s singer-songwriter–inspired realness

Billy May is a singer-songwriter based in Eora/Sydney who has been compared to Jeff Buckley, Big Thief and Fiona Apple. Having spent the last few years playing guitar for some of Sydney’s finest acts including Maia Toakley, Mannequin Radio, Ned Olive, such big water, Bonetwister and Emerald, he decided to embark on a solo music journey. He has since released two singles ‘Billy Day’ and ‘Last Year’ to positive reception and radio play, as well as doing single launches in Sydney and Brisbane. His debut EP ‘…to Friendship’ will be released independently in September 2025.

Ofri is a singer-songwriter whose unashamedly candid lyrics and intricate piano-vocal arrangements form a particular (and peculiar) brand of chamber folk. Inspired by legends of alternative songwriting such as Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor and Sufjan Stevens, Ofri's performances with her horn-woodwind-rhythm combo dance dynamically between genres, with pop, jazz and folk fabrics sewn together by her distinctive and disarming style. Perhaps even more immediately noticeable than her frankness is her voice, a wild thing which can inhabit every colour of expression — from raw emotionality to heartfelt subtlety, with every shade in-between. Her debut album “That Heavy Magnetism” (2024) was described by AAA Backstage as “a must-listen … a rich, musical experience that’s as thought-provoking as it is mesmerising”.
