The Perth-based singer/songwriter experiments with elements of classical orchestral sounds, hip hop beats, exotic rhythms and sounds of nature all wrapped in a palatable pop package.

Azarianne released her 14 track debut album in November 2023. Her singles “Blow the Roof Off” (Oct 2022), “What I Chose” (Jan 2023) and “Turn You Down” (Nov 2023) were warmly received with ABC Radio play, and established Azarianne as an artist who openly and vulnerably shares about common issues that women experience, like struggles with body image and self-worth. 

As a young child Azarianne started putting on shows at home for her family selling tickets at 50c each. The early spark of a future destined for the stage quickly diminished as she suffered bullying and her parents' messy divorce. As a result she started to withdraw, losing confidence and struggling with low self-esteem. Although the stage still held its appeal, she thought she could hide behind the scenes and studied Film & Television when she left school. As Azarianne strived for an ever-elusive exciting life, her reality became a list of personal and professional failures including working in countless jobs she hated as well as battling an eating disorder, depression and eventual financial ruin.

After many years lamenting in therapy and prayer, she dared to revisit the stage. Through her soul-searching years she came to an authentic and powerful realisation that a career in music was her destiny. She went on to bravely complete a Bachelor of Music which then gave her the skills and the confidence to liberate her voice and start composing. “Life has not been easy but somehow I’m still here… I feel that’s because I still have a purpose to fulfil in life.” 

Having overcome seemingly endless challenges, Azarianne breathes a fresh new energy into our music industry with her resilient spirit and unique colourful artistry. Her music is not afraid to break rules and doesn’t easily fit in any particular genre but you’ll soon find yourself humming her tunes with their catchy hooks, relatable lyrics and universal themes.
