Maddy Petch is a Melbourne-born singer-songwriter, self-described as “a ball of emotions with legs.” Her music is a raw and radiant exploration of human truth—delivered through a brazen voice, sweeping chords, and melodies that shimmer like a rainbow after rain.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Madison Cunningham, Angie McMahon, and Middle Kids, Petch crafts a butter-and-jam fusion of indie-pop and folk-rock—comforting yet unexpected, familiar yet wholly her own.
At just 19, Maddy earned the prestigious 2019 Popakademie Songwriting Scholarship and went on to work with SONY, marking a significant early chapter in her artistic journey. Trading Melbourne’s laneways for London’s creative undercurrents, she dove headfirst into the deep end of self-discovery, shaping the emotionally candid and lyrically precise voice that now defines her artistry.
Returning to Australia, she hit the ground running—bringing her transcontinental polish and introspective fire to stages alongside acts like Cub Sport and Didirri. Since then, she’s continued carving out her own lane with a growing catalogue of fearless, soul-baring tracks, including the punchy 2024 single ‘Rented Boyfriend’ and the emotionally charged ‘A Lifetime’ released in 2025.
More than just singing songs, Petch starts conversations—with her heart on her sleeve, tongue in cheek, and a line cast to anyone willing to brave both the loud and quiet moments with her.
