Hugh Lake is the 27-year-old songwriter, producer and DJ who has already made a mark on the Australian music scene with an eclectic mix of singles to his name. 

Lake’s unorthodox journey to success follows his start as HFNR, notorious club DJ in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia; he is known for his eclectic RnB and Afrobeat influenced sets appearing alongside Sophie Grophy, Lil Spacely, Genesis Owusu, Manu Crooks, Hancoq, I.E., Kwame and 360. He soon moved into production, first in his bedroom and then in makeshift studio “The Cabin” built in the backyard of close collaborator and friend Kwasi, with whom he signed to urban label WVS/Onelove in early 2017 as “Kwasi x HFNR”. The HFNR era saw a slew of new wave hip hop projects that were pivotal in shaping the Australian sound.

In 2020 he dropped the HFNR moniker, broadening his scope as a genre-bending songwriter and producer that infuses Hip Hop, RnB, Electronic and Pop like no one else. He would show off his impressive tastemaking, writing and production skills on Melbourne-based, South African born R&B artist Ceeko’s debut EP ‘Where Do We Begin’, which was co-written and produced by Lake in a series of writing sessions at the Alt Music studio in Melbourne. That same year in the midst of COVID lockdowns he co-wrote and produced Platinum hit “Bigger” with Stan Walker and close collaborator and fellow producer HAMLEY. They would collaborate again to mix and produce a re-imagining of the Split Enz classic “Poor Boy'' to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their seminal album “True Colours”. 

He then cemented his genre-hopping presence after a move to Sydney, writing and producing the grungy rap-ballad and sold out tour-titled “Riot” for Phi11a, before hopping on BOY SODA’s debut ode to heartbreak “LOVEU2BITS” alongside HAMLEY and following it up with local hit ‘Westside’ by Nardeen which was winner of the Paramatta Lanes 2021 song competition. Lake credits his mentor, producer and songwriter, IAMMXO with teaching him how to hustle and manage collaborative relationships. He has applied these lessons to the diverse mix of artists he works with and is currently in the studio with RnB artist Lara Andallo, working on her debut EP.

Artist, songwriter, composer 

K.Roosevelt’s music can immerse you in a dream-like state of self reflection with a single tune. His ability to capture California’s sunny skies and melancholy all at once has touched audiences around the world. Son of blues artist Keb’ Mo’, Roosevelt was surrounded by remarkable musicians before learning to walk - and it shows. He’s accomplished so much in the time since, with a career marked by collaborations with notable artists Jhené Aiko, Rapsody and most recently, Mahalia. 


While his journey began with the drums, it’s evolved to guitar, piano, vocals and production, making Roosevelt a true musical polymath. This became clear when his breakout single ‘Do Me Now’ featuring Hit Boy rose to the Top 100 of the R&B charts, and has carried through to his latest work. The eight-track EP ‘Bloom’ is the first independent project for the artist. Collaborating with talent like Amir Obè, SuperDuperKyle and Luke James, it’s an evolution of Roosevelt’s laid-back beats and playful use of melody. 


Mellow and surreal, the work captures the realities, anxieties and thrills of moving through adulthood. The project was an opportunity for Roosevelt to explore sound and experiment with the more technical side of production. Layering in live instruments to mix analog with digital helped him achieve a sound difficult to master any other way. Combining tremendous experience with the excitement of youth - the EP is a triumphant testament to his talent.
