Raised in Cronulla by a first-generation Greek mother and an Aussie father, Adam Newling is a singular voice in Australia’s alternative music scene. Blending grungy alt-rock and country sensibilities with poetic lyricism and an unruly, heartfelt vocal style, Newling has carved out a sound that feels both nostalgic and entirely his own.
Cutting his teeth as the longtime guitarist in Ruby Fields' band (and a featured vocalist on her ARIA #1 debut album Been Doin’ It For A Bit) Newling stepped into the spotlight with his own deeply personal songwriting. His 2023 EP Dorothy Painted Portraits landed at #9 on the ARIA Albums Chart and showcased his unique ability to capture the light and the dark in equal measure. This followed 2022’s breakthrough EP Half Cut and Dangerous, which has now clocked million streams and featured the triple j Hottest 100 entry “Sweetness” (#98).
Newling’s music has enjoyed consistent support across triple j, with multiple singles landing in high rotation, including “Barmy,” “Singing Blackbird,” and “Sweetness.” His warm, introspective songwriting has also struck a chord with live audiences across Australia and beyond. He’s completed numerous sold-out headline tours and performed on festival stages including Laneway Festival, NYE On The Hill, Yours & Owls, Woodford Folk Festival, and Great SouthernNights.
On stage, Newling is a magnetic presence, part country wanderer, part rock ’n’ roll poet. He’s joined some of Australia’s most beloved acts on the road, including Gang of Youths, Amy Shark, King Stingray, Ruby Fields, and The Church. In 2025 he was main support for U.S. indie favourites Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners on their sold-out Australian tour, playing iconic venues like Sydney’s Metro Theatre, Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, and Brisbane’s The Triffid. He also toured the US in 2022 with Skegss, further cementing his international reach.
Whether it’s on record or in a packed room, Adam Newling continues to build something special, honest songs, loyal fans, and a long road ahead that’s completely his own.
