4. Ainslie Wills
Melbourne singer-songwriter Ainslie Wills popped onto the scene in 2013 with her debut LP You Go Your Way, I'll Go Mine, and she's been going full steam ahead ever since.

5. Chela
Chela, born Chelsea Wheatley, is one of Australia's rising stars who has earned praise for her electro-pop tunes such as "Plastic Gun" and "Full Moon."
And music has always been a part of her life — so she's not going anywhere anytime soon!
"I think I've always had that struggling creative inside of me," Chela said during an interview with PerthNow. "You just know you are trapped for life. You need to create; you've got no other option. I have tried to do other things, but I've always written music."

6. Pepa Knight
Pepa Knight hails from Central Coast, NSW, but his music was not inspired by his homeland. Instead, he began writing and recording songs after becoming inspired by a trip to India.
Knight's music is super relaxing, and they're great jams to play if you're looking for a chill session. Plus, the music videos are the perfect combination of hippie and cool.

7. Courtney Barnett
Some could argue that Courtney Barnett has already made it big, having been shortlisted for the Best New Artist prize at next year's Grammy Awards. But good things are yet to come for the Australian singer-songwriter, who is now gaining attention on an international scale.
Her debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit was released in March 2015, and we, for one, are excited to find out what else she has in store.
