A multi-talented artist, Nick Ward has made a name for himself with his brand of bedroom pop, gaining recognition on triple j Unearthed and releasing multiple tracks while refining his sound in his debut EP “Everything I Wish I Told You.” His 2022 track “Brand New You” received acclaim from NME, highlighting its “tightrope balance of bravado and self-doubt” and its relatable, redemptive quality.
After a successful headline tour in 2022, Nick was honored as the Ticketmaster 2023 Breakthrough Artist, showcasing his exceptional talent in the industry. He is also part of the Sydney musical collective Full Circle, which includes young creatives like FRIDAY*, SOLLYY, Dylan Atlantis, Breakfast Road, and Zion Garcia, all working together to push the boundaries of pop music.
Starting as a triple j Unearthed high finalist in 2019, Nick has caught the attention of local and international tastemakers and media outlets, including Order Magazine, V Man, Side-Note, PAPER, GQ, Wonderland, Notion, 10 Magazine, NME, and Junkee.
Nick’s music blends indie pop rock, emo, electronic, and hip-hop, creating a sound that is uniquely his own. With tracks like “Gimme,” "Shooting Star," and “All Your Life” set for release on his forthcoming debut album later this year, he reaffirms his place as a thoughtful and innovative voice in contemporary pop music.
