Episode Three will be viewable from 7:30pm AEST via the Victoria Together Facebook, YouTube and website. The four-part streaming series in partnership with Victorian Government supports and champions developing artists of all genres from right across Victoria.

This week, Iconic Indigenous singer-songwriter Archie Roach introduces DALLAS WOODS, an East Kimberly-bred, Melbourne based, rapper who at 26 years old has quickly become one of Australian hip-hop’s most hotly-tipped acts. Blending hard truths with tongue-in-cheek rhymes and clever punchlines is the DALLAS WOODS way, his distinct charisma shining through in latest single ‘If It Glitters It’s Gold’.

Chart-topping indie-pop duo Lime Cordiale introduce us to Melbournian songstress Nat Vazer. Charming audiences with her intimate guitar pop, Nat joined Lime Cordiale on the Victorian leg of their recent The Dirt Cheap tour, walking away with a slew of new fans. Her stunning debut single ‘Keep Away From Parks!’ was named a triple j Unearthed presenter favourite in 2018, with follow up ‘For A Moment’ hailed by Zan Rowe as “A woozy dollop of sunshine with a killer chorus hook.” Fast forward to 2020 and her latest single ‘Higher Places’ and debut LP Is This Offensive And Loud? have been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone Australia, NME Australia and The Music.

Rounding out Episode Three, Australian music royalty, Daryl Braithwaite, introduces audiences to 17-year-old singer-songwriter Ella J. Hailing from Geelong, the up-and-coming pop sensation showcases soulful vocals well beyond her years, her performance on INTRODUCING this week featuring Rob Amoruso. Her catchy songs, from debut single ‘Goodbye Player’ to her new release, ‘Woman (Oh La La)’, have quickly become fan favourites, garnering praise from tastemakers around the country.

The third instalment of INTRODUCING follows on from a stellar Episode Two which featured performances from indie-rocker Nancie Schipper introduced by Alex Lahey, 70’s inspired power-popper Pollyman introduced by You Am I frontman Tim Rogers and indie-popper Kee’ahn introduced by Vika & Linda.
