I’m currently studying a bachelor of music through IDEASchool and I am in my second year completing my course. I have performed at venues such as The Cabana, Paisley Stage, and Urban Winery and it has admittedly been an incredible part of my journey.

Addz
Hi, I’m Addz. I sing a wide range of songs and take inspiration from artists like Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers, and James Arthur. My musical journey started during the second wave of COVID-19 when I began singing out of boredom. About a year later, I picked up the guitar and taught myself how to play, and I’ve been singing and playing on and off ever since. Right now, I’m just enjoying making music and seeing where it takes me. I haven’t released any singles or worked on any major collaborations yet, but I’m excited to keep exploring my sound and evolving as an artist.
