Lotte Gallagher

With her low and smoky vocal style, singer-songwriter Lotte Gallagher drapes ringing guitar textures around each performance. Attention surged across her native Australia once the debut single “Adam” landed among the country’s most visible showcases for rising talent.

The Melbourne native traced her initial breakthrough to a musically supportive family that urged guitar lessons and sacrificed the family car to fund studio time. A random meeting with Oscar Dawson, guitarist for Australian indie band Holy Holy, resulted in his production of her first single “Adam.” Released in 2023, the spirited track pairs a wistful melody with layers of punchy guitar and earned one of five finalist slots on Unearthed High, the yearly Triple J program that highlights Australian high-school artists. Gallagher and Dawson reunited in 2024 to deliver the energetic new single “Gray.”
