My Story

What a year that was!

Thank-you to everyone who has come on the journey with me so far and if you are just joining welcome to Marshall Hamburger Music.

A little background on me: Born on the Sunshine Coast, I actually spent my early years in India with my parents Gavin & Kellie working as professional musos. Surrounded by music from day 1, I'd watch performers from all walks of life and think: 'That looks so cool. I want to be them one day.'

School wasn't my thing - square peg, round hole situation. Everything changed when I attended Music Industry College though! Finally being around other creative people like me and discovering artists like Lawrence really crystallized what I wanted to do with music.

As you probably know, I won the 2025 edition of Australian Idol, which was an incredible ride. My musical compass is simple: it has to groove, and it has to have soul. Preferably both!

Following Australian Idol, I went straight into performing sold out shows across the country and internationally in India. My Debut single "Thought Of You!" hit #3 in the AIR Charts and AMRAP regional charts, an achievement that I am very proud of as a fully independent artist. I am currently in the studio producing a "Brand New" sound and my next single "Brand New Man" will be released on the 1st of May.

In a recent interview I was asked what has changed in the last 12 months — pretty much I grew up. "Brand New Man" feels like a coming of age song. I feel I am taking my place as a confident musician, singer, songwriter, arranger, video director, editor and producer with a clear vision of how I want to tell my stories. I hope that you want to hear what I have to say and that you continue with me through this next evolution.

Thank-you for being here with me!
