7:00PM:

At fifteen years of age, Joss Walsh is already a standout promising talent.  

From the Southern Highlands of NSW she began her musical journey as a vocalist, discovering her passion for storytelling through songwriting. Joss began playing the guitar when she was only 10 and crafted her first serious composition at twelve, following up with four more originals the same year.

Joss made her stage debut in Tasmania at the Huon Valley Mid Winter Festival at the age of thirteen with a showcase repertoire of five originals and various covers. Despite her reserved nature, she adeptly channels her craft to articulate her thoughts, creating songs that capture the essence of her challenges and triumphs.

Since 2022, Joss has been a student of Wingecarribee Vocal Muster and has performed at both private and public events, including performances at the Berrima Vault House, the Ngununggula Mid Winter Festival and the Tulip Time Festival in Bowral

To add to her musical achievments, Joss participated in Highland FM’s music workshops, including the 100% Home-Grown Youth songwriting and performance school holiday courses. This further honed her skills and broadened her artistic horizons.

Highland FM 107.1 is proud to present Joss and play a role in her artistic evolution. We eagerly anticipate her continued growth and development as a highly successful artist in the years ahead.

8:00PM:

From Crookwell NSW, singer/songwriter Mariah K, inherited her enchanting singing, poetic expressions and passion for music from her Greek grandmother. Her Mediterranean roots are the inspiration for Mariah K to craft music rich in lively storytelling and soulful melodies.

In 2021, Mariah K unveiled her first album, ‘Journey.’ The standout track, ‘Elada’, gained worldwide acclaim, notably receiving radio airtime in Crete and Melbourne. In 2023, her intimate performance of ‘Elada’ at Smith’s Alternative, featuring Canberra’s bouzouki virtuoso Stratos Gianakakis, transported the lively spirit of Greece to the heart of the city.

Mariah K’s journey took an unexpected turn when she caught the attention of Kyle Sandilands during his surprise visit to her family cafe in Crookwell. This lead to an invitation to participate in Australian Idol 2023.

Expanding on her achievements, Mariah K recently dropped the single ‘Fire Up’, produced by Ingrid Oram. The track exudes the lively atmosphere of a summer party, solidifying Mariah K’s music as synonymous with brightening gatherings and infusing joy and light into celebrations.

Excited to explore the limitless world of music, Mariah K has a future without boundaries. Her talent, enthusiasm and dedication will no doubt ensure her success.

Highland FM 107.1 is delighted to present Mariah K’s pop enchantment as a key part of our 100% Home-Grown lineup. Immerse yourself in a sonic experience that fuses catchy beats and heartfelt tunes, bringing the vibrant spirit of local talent to radio.
