Jodi Phillis is an Australian award winning, multi-Aria nominated singer, songwriter, composer and artist who started out in the early 90’s with alt-rock band, The Clouds. The band earned a gold record for debut album Penny Century and went on to achieve a global following.

Jodi has released five critically acclaimed solo albums , with her sixth on the way and spearheaded niche musical groups The Dearhunters, Roger Loves Betty and The Glamma Rays, influencing countless budding musicians along the way.

With a fine ear, adept at crafting beguiling melodies and harmonies and deeply personal, sometimes mystical lyrics, Jodi follows her genre-defying muse wherever she leads.

In 2013, Jodi graduated from AFTRS with a screen music degree and has gone on to compose music for film, tv and the stage.

She has been the recipient of numerous arts grants, most recently Create NSW has in part funded her sixth solo album ‘We Need To Be Free’ out now through Melbourne based Cheersquad Records,.

Award winning composer Damien Lane has created a deeply enigmatic soundscape to underscore Jodi’s classic songwriting and unmistakeable voice. With hints of chamber folk, warped psychedelia and melancholy pop, Jodi’s mellifluous vocals shine, front and centre.

Expressing themes of transformation through pain and loss, universal and cosmic themes of love and transcendence and deeply human stories tracking her own internal journey, Jodi has created arguably her strongest work yet.

The WE NEED TO BE FREE Album Launch Tour kicks off in August.
