From a triple j Unearthed High win in 2016 and winning the Vanda and Young Global Songwriting Prize the same year, to touring arenas with the likes of Maisie Peters, Mumford & Sons and Gang of Youths; Gretta Ray just keeps getting better.
Following the success of her debut album ‘Begin To Look Around in 2021, and the incredible response to her viral cover of ‘Vienna’ by Billy Joel in 2022’, Gretta’s sophomore release ‘Positive Spin’ in 2023 cemented her as one of Australia’s strongest songwriters. Bouncing
between infectious pop hooks and softer, autobiographical moments, it is Gretta’s honest and open lyricism that leaves listeners wanting more. ‘Positive Spin’ is a pure pop project that comes
to you bathed in golden light, a hazy sunset of love and heartbreak, growth and understanding. The release saw Gretta nominated for Album Of The Year at the 2023 triple j J Awards, as well
as being shortlisted for the 2023 Australian Music Prize.
Gretta has built herself an impressively loyal and sizable fan base that have dedicated themselves to the world she has created. Her music is both an exercise in self exploration, and a familiar, sisterly conversation with those who take part in her journey so enthusiastically.
With a track record like Gretta’s, it is clear that there’s no stopping her on her undeniable trajectory to pop-stardom.
