Danielle Deckard
Originally hailing from Vineland, NJ, 26-year-old singer/songwriter Danielle Deckard has made a home in Sydney, Australia. Taking influence from indie-pop heroines Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles, Danielle’s songwriting is well-considered and straight to the point. Her lyrics are confessional, frank rather than gushing. Her songwriting has earned her awards as a finalist in the USA Songwriting Competition and International Songwriting Competition, as well as a 1st place winner in the Unsigned Only competition.

Danielle’s debut EP, ‘End Of The World’ combines hook-driven songwriting, intimate vocal performances, energetic instrumentation, and complex musical arrangements.

Emma Davis
Described by Triple J as ‘one of the great quiet achievers of the Sydney scene’, Emma Davis’s intricate guitar work, careful production and honest storytelling continues to evolve. Since releasing her self-titled debut in 2010, she built her own studio in a nearby furniture joinery and has spent the last year working on concepts for her second record. Due to be released later this year and co-produced with Greg Walker (Paul Kelly, Holly Throsby, Machine Translations) the album strikes a delicate balance between rich organic sounds and soft melancholic synth.

Jack Shit (DJ)
FBi radio rascal and rabid raconteur Jack Shit found his girlfriend at Finders Keepers. She wasn’t cheap – but she’s lasted beautifully!

Le Pie
Since releasing her debut single ‘Secrets’ in January 2015 and immediately establishing her signature grunge-meets-’60s girl group sound, the Sydney indie pop chanteuse’s momentem has yet to slow down. From the moment that thundering drum into reached the airwaves, ‘Secrets’ and Le Pie quickly became a fabourite of Australian radio institutions like triple j and FBI radio. This year she’s poised to follow that momentum and rocket into the year ahead – starting with the release of the brand-new party track ‘Up All Night’.

Sparrows
Drawing on sound collage, Sydney artist Sparrows creates electro-pop with a twist, making music using found sounds and manipulated vocals.
With musical influences including Kate Bush, CocoRosie, Lamb and David Bowie, Sparrows’ music goes on a trek from doo-wop on prozac to movie soundtrack exploring textures that fuse with her child-like singing style. Fuelled by material from dreams, eavesdropped conversations and graffiti off public toilet doors, Sparrows works to weave these ideas into her music’s narrative. Sparrows’ most recent single ‘On Your Own’ has been generating favourable support from tastemakers including triple j, FBi, AMRAP and Semplesize.
“Bright, adventurous pop music” – Dom Alessio, triple j
“Sparrows has us hooked with a distinguished vocal style and the weaving of magical soundscapes” – APHRA Mag
“It seems apparent that she has the freedom and ability to make edgy yet listenable music” – Happy

In October 2015 she was named FBi Radio Independent Artist of the Week.
