On the Rise: DIVEBAR YOUTH’s Path to BIGSOUND

DIVEBAR YOUTH is quickly establishing himself as a powerhouse in the Australian indie music scene. This week, the project of artist, songwriter, and producer Vinnie Barbaro hit a significant milestone, being named the most playlisted artist in Australia of the week. His latest single, “all you ever wanted,” is self-produced and has made waves across significant platforms, earning spots on playlists like Spotify’s New Music Friday AU & NZ and Apple Music’s New Music Daily. The track has also garnered attention from triple j’s “Home and Hosed,” this being his sixth song to air the station this year, solidifying his presence in the Australian music scene.

Alongside gaining traction on streaming platforms and radio, DIVEBAR YOUTH has embarked on his first national tour across Australia to support his “Idioms” EP, all while preparing for BIGSOUND 2024. The EP has demonstrated to connect with listeners by exploring the complexities of love and finding your truth.

During this period, he has also enjoyed opportunities like mentorship and a support slot with Angus and Julia Stone. This is not the first time he has received support from respected artists, with co-signs from Robert Smith and The Jungle Giants. He’s set to play the southern hemisphere’s most significant music industry event, BIGSOUND 2024, and already has his sights on the international stage.
