Secret Sounds is excited to reveal that Melbourne-based songwriter and musician ForestClaudette, will be joining Ruel on his Australian 4TH WALL TOUR. Claudette will open shows across the country, with dates in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Fremantle and Sydney.
Ruel is both a seasoned international performer and a record-breaking musician for tomorrow’s generation. Since making his debut in 2017 when he was just fourteen, the London-born, Sydney-raised artist has fast become one of his generation’s most influential musicians. Sitting with over 2 billion global streams and 1.2 million Instagram followers, the pop sensation also holds ground-breaking records as the youngest artist ever to win Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards and as the youngest musician to sell out the Sydney Opera House… twice.
Last month, Ruel’s long-awaited debut studio album, 4TH WALL hit the ground running. The album boasts a constellation of fresh and exciting tracks, along with chart-topping singles like “GROWING UP IS____” and “I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU”. Ruel will be joined on his forthcoming headline tour by up-and-comer Forest Claudette.
Using their craft to navigate the world around him, Forest Claudette has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of R&B and pop. Claudette’s ability to experiment and seamlessly merge different genres and styles has created a sound that is both refreshingly new and familiar. His debut EP, The Year of February, showcases this perfectly.
Lead single “Creaming Soda” dives deep into finding the balance between fear and expectation as he entered the music industry, a feeling that many new artists can relate to. The track is interwoven with a heavenly vocal range and youthful abandon.
The follow-up track from the EP, “Gone Without A Trace”, chalked up enough plays on triple j to be second-most-played chart and #69 on the Airplay chart. Claudette has received a stack of praise, including being named the ‘Up Next Local’ artist by Apple Music and being recognized as one of triple j’s standout acts.
Having wrapped up a run of sold-out headline shows Forest Claudette has recently released another single from their EP, “Mess Around” featuring American hip-hop duo EARTHGANG. The track again showcases Claudette’s ability to uniquely fuse R&B, pop, hip-hop, and rap, resulting in soundscapes that oscillate between textural sonics and atmospheric production.
Witness this distinctive sound and performance live when Forest Claudette plays alongside Ruel in your nearest city. Final tickets just released across all dates so get in quick before it’s too late. Head to secretsounds.com now to purchase.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
