Tartie

Tartie is an exciting, passionate and fiercely independent Australian artist with musical influences including Maggie Rogers, Missy Higgins and Lady Gaga, all while retaining her singular lyrical and vocal style. Since the release of her debut EP Your Today in 2017, Tartie has evolved into a compelling storyteller, using her songs to explore themes of love, identity, and self-discovery. She worked with producer Neal Sutherland (Amy Shark, Megan Washington, Sarah Blasko) on releases Missing Hearts, which charted on the Triple J Unearthed Pop charts and Winter’s Girl, which was listed as a semi-finalist in the international songwriting competition Unsigned Only and was a semi-finalist for the Listen Up Music Songwriting Prize. In January 2020, Tartie wrote a song about the Australian bushfires called Ablaze which received international radio play and was featured on Yale University’s Climate Connections website. During the pandemic, Tartie began working on a collaborative project with US-radio- DJ-turned-songwriter Binnie Klein, titled In These Trees & Tartie. They met when Tartie submitted Winter’s Girl to Binnie’s radio show and Klein was enamoured with her voice and asked her if she’d be interested in putting music to some poetry she’d written. The result was Orchard which was released in 2021 and produced by David Baron (Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, Lenny Kravitz.) It was Baron who encouraged the women to expand the single into a full album and five singles later they released the LP The Quiver in March 2024. The Quiver has been described as a “true tour de force, featuring emotionally raw songs that echo the introspective depth of Kate Bush” (Popdose) and the album is “full of vivid imagery, piercing melodies, shifting musical textures, and deep feelings” (New Haven Independent.)
