Essi is a self-made country-pop artist from rural Queensland, blending honest storytelling with warm, nostalgic melodies. Raised in Goondiwindi, she found her love of music though her mum’s Fleetwood Mac CD’s and singing to the cows from the back of a hay feeder, and has since gone on to perform festivals and events such as Gympie Muster, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Brisbane Ekka and Sofar Sounds Sydney. Her debut single “Nostalgic” was named the #1 Country Song in the 2025 Nashville-based International Songwriting Competition and featured on Apple Music editorial playlists. A 2025 Channel 7 Young Achiever nominee, Essi has received national airplay on KIX Country and Australian Country Radio, and continues to release music independently, including her self-funded debut album due for completion in September 2025. With roots in country and a sound that touches pop, soul, and folk, Essi is carving out a space of her own.
