Described by Don Letts (BBC Radio) as “the very definition of culture clash,” Immy Owusu’s Afrodelik sound fuses psychedelia, Zamrock, and Highlife. He grew up between surf rock and traditional West African music, later studying in Ghana with his grandfather, Highlife legend Koo Nimo. His debut album LO-LIFE! earned an Australian Music Prize nomination and multiple radio features. Following his 2025 EP Spiritual War with Sensible J, Immy will release his second album AFRODELIKIZM in 2026.

Meet Alyssa Drago, a pop singer-songwriter with powerhouse vocals and honest lyrics about love and loss, but with a catchy touch. Her craft is a fusion of her influences, borrowing elements from styles including funk, dance, and rock, brought to life with the help of her bandmates from ‘Drago’s Afterparty’. Making her debut in 2024, she released her first two upbeat tracks ’Somewhen’ and ‘Who The Hell?’, followed by her vulnerable love ballad ’Sunset Song’ released in 2025, and its stripped counterpart ’Sunset Song – Intimate Version’. If you’ve ever had trouble putting your feelings into words, Alyssa Drago can do just the thing.
