Multi-platinum and ARIA award winning genre-defying Australian artist Illy returns today with the anthemic “Stubborn” via Warner Music Australia. Listen HERE.
Produced by Cam Bluff (Hilltop Hoods, Amy Shark), “Stubborn” is for anyone who needs a reminder to enjoy life and embrace everything that happens, including the ups and the downs. It also serves as the first (“and for real this time, definitely not last” – Illy) taste of new music from Illy in 2024.

“In these times where everyone is in a constant state of “working on themselves”, and the incessant hum of the entire world is kept inches from our junk at all times, songs that say “f**k all that, we don’t care”, and celebrate ignoring the opinions, hot takes and judgement of others, are important, even when that’s all they’re saying. Stubborn is cut from that cloth. Don’t overthink everything, enjoy this beautiful life and the mistakes we will inevitably make as we live it, cause why not.” says Illy of the track.
“Stubborn” follows his 2023 single “Hopeless” with Los Angeles based singer, actress and model Indiana Massara, and his mammoth 25 date regional tour which took him all around Australia.
Illy has seamlessly straddled the line between hip hop and pop throughout his decorated career, embracing new sonic inspirations across each of his six critically acclaimed studio albums. After receiving his third ARIA nomination for 2013 record “Cinematic” – home to 3x platinum single and fan-favourite “Tightrope” – Illy’s follow up project “Two Degrees” (2016) shot to #1 on the ARIA charts, featuring multi-platinum collaborations “Papercuts ft. Vera Blue” (5x), and “Catch 22 ft. Anne-Marie” (3x). 2021’s “The Space Between” marked Illy’s second ARIA #1 album, with lead single “Then What” ticking over to 2x ARIA platinum. An ARIA Award winner for Best Live Act, Illy has performed at high profile festivals including Falls Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Snow Machine, and Spilt Milk. In 2023, his “Ausmusic Medley” reached #12 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of Like A Version.

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.
