17-year-old Novocastrian singer-songwriter Bree Rusev emerges with her empowering debut single, Coastline, a reflective ode to independence and inner tranquility.

Picking up her first guitar at 14, performance and song-writing came naturally to Bree, with her first track being written just a few months later. Doing the rounds at local venues, cafes and functions Bree has developed a confidence and sound beyond her years.

Coastline is a testament to Bree’s musical maturity, written when she was just 15 years old, the light yet deep roots single floods the listener with waves of emotion, as Bree’s delicate yet assuring vocals soar over a minimalist acoustic backing.

“Coastline was inspired by my love for the ocean and nature. A lot of tracks use the wading tides as a metaphor for cyclical relationships and I wanted to do the opposite. I also wanted to get across a message of empowerment and independence and show that there can be contentment in being alone.” – Bree Rusev

Following the release of her debut single Bree will continue to write, record and release original music with plans to start gigging when venues return to standard trading hours.
