Meet Lucky, The Australian Artist Taking On The World

Lucky

There's a very good chance you're one of the countless fans of Aussie music who wrapped up 2025 citing Lucky as one of your favourite discoveries for the year.

Hailing from the regional Victorian town of Staghorn Flat, Lucky's musical ambitions can be traced back to when she was around eight years old, telling triple j Unearthed her father was responsible for her start in learning to play the guitar.

Venturing to pop rock in her early teens thanks to influences like Avril Lavigne and Pink, singing competitions were entered and won, and it was in late 2024 the wider world began to discover Lucky. Support slots for the likes of Dear Seattle gave way to the release of her debut single, Never Know, in January 2025.

From the start, Lucky's love of classic '90s vibes was on full display, with her style being likened to Australian acts of the alternative rock era, while she herself cited the influence of more modern names such as beabadoobee and Momma.

Harnessing the raw energy that encapsulates the rock genre, and pairing it with dreamy, almost shoegaze-like vibes of the modern indie scene, Lucky's music swiftly found a voracious fanbase, and it was no time at all before she was finding her music scoring airplay on the likes of triple j, and garnering attention from their Unearthed platform, including a spot as their Feature Artist in November.

Following support slots for names such as Hockey Dad, The Belair Lip Bombs, and Armlock, Lucky issued the cathartic Lady Beetle in August as the first taste of her debut EP. An appearance at BIGSOUND followed just weeks later, and by December, she was touring as the main support for US rockers Garbage on their national tour of the country.

As 2026 rolled around, so too did Lucky’s accolades.

Kicking off the year by joining the Beyond The Valley festival as their triple j Unearthed winner, Lucky soon found herself named as one of the handful of Australian acts on NME's 100 artists to watch for 2026, with the publication summarising her as "hard to Google but easy to love".

In March, Lucky headed stateside, appearing at SXSW in Austin, Texas, and leaving the event after signing with a number of global agents, including Ground Control for representation in North America, and One Fiinix for Europe and the UK.

Inclusions on Spotify’s Fresh Finds global playlist also peppered her trail, which led to the release of her debut EP, Biting Heels, in April. Describing it as her "official introduction to the world", Lucky noted that the nine-song collection was broad in its scope, allowing plenty of options for her to hone the sounds she loves.

Indeed, Lucky is already forging on with massive force and success. Just last week, she wrapped up the four-date, sold out national tour in support of her EP, and with an appearance at Germany's Reeperbahn festival set for September, it's clear things are now taking off on a global scale for this powerful musician.

Just a couple of years ago, the wider music world might have had no clue who this regional Victorian musician going by the name of Lucky is. Fast-forward to 2026, and as the momentum continues to grow, the audience keeps on amassing, and with an international takeover on the way, it's clear that Lucky is well on her way to legend status – and it has nothing to do with luck.
