Aodhan (Aidan Whitehall) is a songwriter from Wollongong Australia. His early single releases caught the attention of Communion Publishing UK which saw him signing a deal where her joins a roster that includes Bears Den & Catfish & The Bottlemen.  His 2019 single “Butterflies” is already well over one million streams.

2020 saw Aodhan record his debut EP “Flies In The Room” with producer Ryan Miller (Angus & Julia Stone/Thelma Plum) which is due for release in May 2021 and features the singles “Twelve Again & I’m Closed”.  Triple J seem to dig what they hear so far with Aodhan winning the Unearthed High Indigenous initiative and landing a spot in the finals for Unearthed High for “Twelve Again”.  Aodhan was also part of the BIGSOUND Big 50 for 2020.

Aodhan is building a quite the team, signing a management deal with Kadence/Footstomp and joining the illustrious Select Music bookings team.  He and his band are in the process of announcing their first ever headline tour to celebrate the EP release this July.

Taking influence from a huge range of writers, genres, and eras in Aodhan fuses heartfelt writing with soulful musicality.  Aodhan is broadening his tastes and has begun to experiment with his production, finding his feet at the door of a dreamy indie sound without losing the acoustic folk that inspired him to pick up a guitar in the first place. He has also recently relished the opportunity to write with some of his favourite artists Josh Pyke and Holy Holy and has a few special collaborations still on the cards.

This is very beginning of what everyone expects to be a long and fascinating career.

"If it sounds GOOD to you, it's bitchin'; if it sounds BAD to YOU, it's shitty. The more your musical experience, the easier it is to define for yourself what you like and what you don't like. American radio listeners, raised on a diet of (corporate crap) have experienced a musical universe so small they cannot begin to know what they like.”
― Frank Zappa

In the years before Driz gained popularity for his music, he was often found in the studio, building his craft and refining what is now widely recognised as the Driz signature sound.

It wasn’t until 2019 that the self-taught songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist decided it was time to unleash his music publicly, with Soundcloud, his favourite medium, catapulting Driz into the realm of UK underground rap. Tracks including “Ultrasound” and “Monochrome Lies” have generated thousands of streams.

The Guildford-based artist has since operated primarily within the UK’s live music industry; with his calculated stage presence gaining the support of promoters and music fans nationwide.

In the future we can expect a steady stream of releases from Driz, leading up to the release of his upcoming mixtape, “The 2090’s“. His future releases will be available on all streaming platforms.
