Sydney-based DIY neo-soul songwriter Brave makes all of his music in a home studio that takes up 80 per cent of his bedroom. Writing, recording and producing all of his material since the age of 15, the August release of Brave’s debut EP is a huge full-circle moment for the beat-maker wunderkind.

‘What About Me?’ is the first single from the forthcoming EP. It shows off Brave’s natural songwriting abilities, driving along with hopping piano chords and a catchy, danceable beat. His vocals are strong and captivatingly honest, delivering a raw melody that resembles shades of his primal influencers, like D’Angelo, J Dilla and Stevie Wonder.

It’s an impressive statement track that sees Brave stepping into a whole new world.
