Australian singer-songwriter Adrien Nookadu, a.k.a. AXI, has just come fresh off the heels of afro-pop fused single ‘Hands on Me’. With several more tracks in the pipeline, its clear to see he’s on the rise to the top, but on the journey he caught up with The Rodeo and let us in on his favourite artists.
Bruno Major:
The man oozes soul, brilliant muso with beautiful music, I’m a hopeless romantic & his music emphasises allllll the love i feel in my body! so the second i heard his art i was hooked.
Anderson Paak:
Rhythm & feel is in this guys blood & bones! the groove is tight & makes me feel GOOOOD!
Rob Araujo:
So so nice to feel the passion through this guys fingers, crazy keys player with tasty ass chops! to say I’m happy to see jazz & soul fusion mixing in todays music era would be an understatement!!
Frank Ocean:
2 words. “Channel Orange”.
Billie Eilish:
Last but not least, a young girl who has carved her sound & individuality maturely into a commercial market, inspired by her music & let’s not forget her voice.. sweet like a river of melted chocolate over a mountain of cotton candy!
