Fresh off being awarded the Global Emerging Songwriter prize in the prestigious Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition, Mornington Peninsula songwriter Tig is carving out a reputation for vividly relatable songwriting that cuts deep while staying playful.
Following a debut EP labelled ‘unbelievable’ by Forte Mag (Inside Voices, 2024), Tig partnered with coveted ARIA-nominated producer Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy) to craft a huge collection of emotionally charged indie-pop anthems, sonically bigger and bolder than anything she’s made before.
Living in the messy space between fear and courage, self-protection and expression, Tig’s work draws inspiration from her singer-songwriter idols while channeling a nostalgic edge reminiscent of her 90s/00s upbringing.
Alongside praise from Women In Pop, Beat Magazine, AIR, PBS, Triple R and Triple J Unearthed, Tig has steadily built a reputation as a compelling live performer, supporting artists including Kim Churchill, Pierce Brothers, Ainslie Wills, Flynn Gurry, Maddy May, The McCredie Brothers, Grace Woodroofe and more. With a string of new releases unfolding throughout 2026, she’s quickly emerging as one of Australia’s most exciting new songwriters.
