“The budding Australian superstar you need to know” – VOGUE AUSTRALIA
Today, Platinum and 2x ARIA award-winning artist Budjerah announces his highly-anticipated debut album Gentleman will be released on Friday 24 July via Warner Music Australia. Pre-order HERE. Produced by Om’Mas Keith, this record boldly captures who Budjerah is as an artist with a nod to the pop and RNB music he grew up listening to.
Of the album Budjerah says, “Gentleman is my debut album and It’s inspired by who I wanted to be when I was growing up. This album was almost a 4 year process for me. Between my life at home and life on the road, I experienced so much change and growth. Chasing my dreams I faced new challenges which helped me understand who I wanted to be. Every song on this album holds a piece of me. I hope little Budjerah is proud.”
The album is led by the recently released “Want You Back” and today is joined by the title track “Gentleman”, which was written by songwriter heavyweights Autumn Rowe (Alexis Jordan, Kylie Minogue), Kizzo Keaz (Jon Batiste, Ne-Yo), and Philip Lawrence (Bruno Mars). Oozing with an irresistible hook that will immediately get stuck in your head, Budjerah brings a nostalgia as he sings about treating a girl right on a date. Listen HERE.
“You have to be a gentleman and make sure your girl is treated right. I grew up around a lot of old people, so I was influenced by the music they played as well as watching how they treated each other, and that is what this song is about.” Budjerah says of the new track.
Amassing a staggering 60 million combined career streams to-date, and Platinum single “Therapy” achieving over 18.8 million on Spotify, Budjerah is on the cusp of becoming a household name. Already a 2 x ARIA Award winner (Breakthrough Artist in 2021 and Best Soul/R&B Release in 2022), he’s been nominated for 15 in total, as well as received an APRA Award (Most Performed R&B / Soul Work for “Higher“), and in 2022 he was named GQ Australia’s Breakthrough Artist. In 2023 he opened for Ed Sheeran on his sold-out stadium tour after collaborating with Sheeran on “2Step”, and then later that year performed “I Still Call Australia Home” with the legendary Kylie Minogue at the QANTAS gala, and contributed the theme song to Baz Luhrmann’s2023 television series, “Faraway Downs.”
Since the release of the 2024 single “Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense”, Budjerah embarked on a national headline tour, performed at the 2024 Aria Awards with Cyril and Becca Hatch, Performed at the 2024 and 2025 Carols In The Domain, opened for Jacob Banks in Brisbane, and most recently performed at Tropfest.
