“Melbourne is one of the live music capitals of the world, and Live Nation looks forward to showcasing three of the most talented, up and coming artists in the country as part of Ones To Watch in Australia’s cultural hub,” says Paul Lynch, Promoter, Live Nation Australia.

“We cannot wait to welcome Pania, Mitch Santiago and Boy Soda to the Ones To Watch program, connecting them with new fans globally, and contributing to the development of their careers.”

With the inclusion of PANIA, Mitch Santiago, and BOY SODA, Ones To Watch highlights three incredibly unique artists who have been producing excellent music and high energy performances at shows throughout the last 12 months.

PANIA has emerged as a leader of new Australian R&B, landing on the radars of cultural icons including Tyler, The Creator and Kehlani, while pushing her brand of innovative and empowered lyricism to wider prominence.

Perth’s Mitch Santiago, a described teen musical prodigy, has been capturing the attention of many throughout 2022. A talented self taught multi-instrumentalist, writer and producer, Santiago has been elevating indie-pop coming out of WA, landing himself on BIGSOUND’s list of “9 Standout Acts Ready To Explode”, and spreading the joy of his music around the country on his first national headline tour in July of 2022.

BOY SODA has consistently been building a reputation for himself as not just a captivating live performer, but a dynamic and inspired young songwriter; blending forward-thinking threads of R&B and hip hop together in a way that has seen his own unique stamp permeate through each record his voice touches.

It all goes down at Live Nation HQ on March 29. Head here to find out more.
