Ziggy Alberts has built a dedicated global following through a powerful combination of captivating songwriting, persistent touring, and a fiercely independent ethos. His journey from busking on the streets of Byron Bay to commanding sold-out world stages as a solo artist stands as a testament to authentic connection and musical craftsmanship.

With over 1 billion streams across his discography, Alberts has firmly established himself as a folk powerhouse. Hits like "Runaway" - surpassing 100 million Spotify streams and achieving ARIA Triple Platinum status, Gold Status in Canada - and "Love Me Now" have resonated with audiences worldwide. His impressive collection of accolades includes ARIA Triple Platinum for "Laps Around The Sun," Double Platinum for fan favourites "Days In The Sun," "Gone," and the EP "Four Feet In The Forest," plus multiple Gold certifications and three APRA Music Awards for Most Performed Blues and Roots Work.

What truly sets Alberts apart is his unwavering commitment to independence. Rather than signing with a major label, he established his own music company, Commonfolk, allowing him complete creative control and the freedom to forge his own path in the industry. This pioneering approach has made him an inspiration for artists seeking alternatives to traditional music business models.

Alberts' touring resume demonstrates his work ethic and global appeal. His performances across Australia, Europe, the UK, North America, South America and South East Asia have transformed from intimate venues to major headline sets, including standout appearances at Bluesfest, Bonnaroo, Fuji Rock and Splendour in the Grass. His recent tours have seen him play to over 110,000 fans at headline shows, sell out London's Royal Albert Hall six months in advance, pack houses in Germany with crowds of 3,500+, and make impressive international debuts in Brazil and Mexico.

His seventh studio album, 'New Love', represents his most refined project yet. Divided between a warm, folk-inspired Side A and a more expansive rock-and-country-influenced Side B, the album mirrors life's inherent duality. Co-produced with longtime collaborator Garrett Kato, the album embraces an organic, minimalist approach that preserves the raw emotion of each track. Singles like "New Love," "Outlaw," and the introspective "Where Does The Love Go?" offer glimpses into Alberts' musical and personal evolution while maintaining the acoustic charm and emotional resonance that first captured his audience's hearts.

Ziggy Alberts offers a rich tapestry of sun-soaked folk that explores themes of love, self-discovery, and the pursuit of freedom and joy. His commitment to direct connection with his audience has built not just a fan base but a community united across continents by his music and message.
