In the ever-evolving realm of music, few artists manage to combine stunning vocals and raw songwriting with the finesse that Bella Deer effortlessly exudes.

 

Hailing from Geelong, in Regional Victoria (one hour from the state's capital Melbourne) Waddawurrung Country AU, this enigmatic songstress weaves her narratives with an open-hearted touch, offering listeners a breath of fresh air in a world saturated with sound-alikes.

 

Enveloped within her emotive and expansive sonic production, Bella Deer has garnered a devoted following, leaving many struggling to draw comparisons to her sonically, though echoes of artists like Florence and the Machine occasionally come to mind.

​

Making her mark in 2022 with her debut single 'Bloom,' Bella Deer embarked on a journey across regional Victoria.

 

The live arena serves as a natural habitat for this seasoned musician and performer, where her unwavering confidence in her craft immediately captivates the audience. Whether that be as a solo performance or with her 4 piece band she effortly forginges an instant connection with her audiences, and leaves hearts resonating with her melodies. It is not uncommon to have an audience member voice how much they were moved by her storytelling.

​

Stepping into the spotlight, BELLA DEER's track 'Care Too Much'  garnered significant attention as a top 40 finalist in the prestigious APRA AMCOS Vanda and Young Global Songwriting Competition. This recognition firmly placed BELLA DEER in the company of other esteemed Australian songwriters, such as Yirrimal, DMAs, Amyl and the Sniffers, Baker Boy, Ziggy Alberts, Liz Stringer, and the sensational Genesis Owusu. The Geelong Advertiser named her as an 'artist to watch' in early 2023.

​

Her latest industry recognition comes with Care Too Much (co-written and produced by Joel Quartermain of Eskimo Joe) being a finalist and receiving an Honourable Mention in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) in the Adult Contemporary section based in Nashville, TN. 

​

The song's Music Video was shot and co-produced with Bella with David Fromholtz. It features the iconic Aireys Inlet Split Point lighthouse.

​

BELLA DEER has had two recent overseas performances, to an attentive and interactive audience at a live music venue in the heart of Seoul, South Korea. In late August 2024 BELLA DEER appeared with Milan based musician Silvia at the long running Ferrara Buskers Festival, in Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

BELLA DEER has a fire that is fuelled by an unwavering ambition to share her stories with listeners nationally and internationally.
