#25Under25 2023 | Australian Music's Best And Brightest New Faces

As we reach the end of Ausmusic Month 2023, The Push is highlighting some of the best and brightest new faces of Australian music!

Young people from right across the country have made incredible contributions to the Australian music sector this year. We have artists, managers, booking agents, merch producers, graphic designers and everyone in between. The Push’s 25 Under 25 is an opportunity to bring attention to and platform some of the names you need to keep an eye on for the future of Australian music.

Kate Duncan, CEO, The Push, commented: “The past 12 months have seen The Push connect with more young people across Australia than ever before. Through our programs and events including VIVID Sydney and Music Careers Expo, we were able to see first-hand the immense value young people are bringing to the Australian music sector as a new generation of artists and industry practitioners. We congratulate and thank this year’s 25 Under 25 winners for their commitment to Australian music, and we can’t wait to see what they all achieve in the future.”
