While PANIA’s music is intensely personal, she adds a three-dimensional nature to her song writing by viewing past situations through a different lens. “Sometimes I like to write from the perspective of someone I’ve been with, or someone I’ve hurt in the past,” she says. “In a weird way, it helps me find clarity.” What results is an intimate journey through PANIA’s world, where song is used to explore every corner and crevice, no matter how vulnerable.
Despite releasing her debut single just over twelve months ago, PANIA’s vision has always been global. Raised in the cultural melting pot of West Melbourne, PANIA took inspiration from her surroundings, fusing it with the fiery desire to achieve bigger and better things

About PANIA:
“Growing up surrounded by industrial areas in the West, we were infatuated by the idea of making it out”. In high school, Pania took after her friends and began singing – always in private, because she was too shy for an audience. “It wasn’t until I dropped a demo on SoundCloud that local producers hit me up to work,” she says. “I met a lot of the underground West Melbourne scene through them, and built from that.”
Soon after, Pania realised that her lyrics were connecting with fans on a deeper level, and she knew that she had found her calling. “My music is how I feel when I’m most vulnerable, it’s like a diary to me,” she says. “All the toxic thoughts, the vulnerable ones, the simp nights, the things we all feel but sometimes might be afraid to say.” And while her music is intensely personal, she adds a three-dimensional nature to her song writing by viewing past situations through a different lens.
Having reinterpreted songs by Usher and Drake, it’s clear how these legends have influenced Pania: She takes leads from the romantic nostalgia of 2000s R&B, and the late-night, lonely soundscapes favoured by OVO producers; melding them into her own fresh, soul-stirring sound. She released her debut single “Icyy” in 2020, a magnetic slow-burner that earned widespread praise from Acclaim Magazine, Purple Sneakers and AUD$. Soon after, Pania led an adidas Originals campaign focusing on West Melbourne’s buzzing creative community, also following up her debut with sophomore single “Icyy Pt. 2” featuring Keziah.

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.
