BAYNK
THE BREAKTHROUGH KIWI PRODUCER-SONGWRITER

New Zealand’s electronic music wunderkind BAYNK has today announced a tour across Australia and New Zealand which sees the young producer bring his effortlessly smooth sound and dynamic live show to local fans in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.

Born Jock Nowell-Usticke, BAYNK has been on a fast rise over the past couple years. Breaking into the scene in early 2015, BAYNK’s beginnings is the unlikely story of a kid who uploaded a song to Soundcloud while on holiday in Europe – who after losing his laptop and going surfing for a week, returned to find the track going ballistic with praise and attention from new fans and music industry.
Followed by a steady release of singles since then, the young producer has clocked up more than 82 million plays on Spotify alone, marking him a top new artist to watch. Most recently, BAYNK received much critical acclaim for new EP singles “Off Limits” with Australian pop sensation Glades and “Settle” with UK artist and vocalist Sinéad Harnett. The music video for “Settle” also gained heavy praise for contributions made by co-director Spencer Graves (Kendrick Lamar, Lauv, Whethan).
His latest single “Water”, out now via AllPoints, features pristine electronic production cloaked in intricate layers of horns and percussion highlighting BAYNK’s aptitude for crafting electrifying and innovative sounds. The new track comes in anticipation of the NZ producer’s sophomore EP, “Someone’s EP II”, which is set to be released May 15.
With major festival plays under his belt such as St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival, Rhythm & Vines, Rhythm & Alps, WOMAD New Zealand, BAYNK has recently been announced to play Lollapalooza and Coachella. He’s been busy refining his live show with multiple North American runs, performing as special guest with San Holo, Kasbo and Hayden James, not to mention his own 13-date North American headline tour. BAYNK now brings his energetic, live instrumental show to Australian audiences this year starting in Melbourne on July 4.

AMNPLIFY- DB
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.
