DON WEST

If you wanted a unicorn thought experiment, pairing deliriously sultry soul music from the height of Stax and Motown era with au courant heartthrob handsomeness, then Don West has done the hard work for you; he is the answer.

This Sydney-based troubadour has taken a cinematic look at our favorite soul sounds and reimagined them with a coolness and candor that feels too vivid, like an ex-lover's scent on your sheets.

With his debut self-titled EP released at the end of last year, he has cemented himself as a must-see touring artist, already selling out multiple nights in Sydney and Melbourne.
