David Cosma is a Melbourne based singer songwriter whose inspiring lyrics accompanied by sumptuous melodies and harmonies, guarantees an impassioned live performance.

Together with his unique method of playing the guitar (he holds the guitar left handed but plays right hand strung guitars, similar to artists Albert King, Elizabeth Cotten and Dick Dale) his music has been described as "straight ahead, thinking person’s rock ‘n’ roll that speaks volumes to what a terrific talent we have in our midst"- Tony McMahon.

Since 2008, he's released two LPs, two EPs, several singles, performed at theatres and venues across Australia and has supported artists including Mark Seymour & Russell Morris and received industry praise for his music.

Sonically, his music is rich and luminous and boasts a world class production quality that is often overlooked or absent in the world of independent singer– songwriters, but it is lyrically where Cosma stands apart from the rest.

He has a knack for examining commonplace and even trite circumstance and then magnifies their significance with a wry and ironic tone. Religion, pop culture and nostalgic nuances, punctuate and ultimately, accentuate his writing, triggering instant attention from an audience and listeners.

From a very early age, he became obsessed with 1950’s and 60’s music, in particular Elvis and The Beatles. His love for playing guitar started when he sat and taught himself Jimmy Reed’s 'Baby What You Want Me To Do', a simple blues riff which he first saw Elvis perform on the '68 Comeback Special.

Co-writing/producing and performing in Sun Rising, was a natural undertaking in addition to his original music. His part in Sun Rising has been described as energetic and and full of infectious passion.

His admiration for guitarists such as Chet Atkins, Wes Montgomery, Billy Gibbons, Scotty Moore and the legendary Django Reinhardt has helped shape his playing while still maintaining his own style.

His instrumental guitar arrangements have seen him filmed by Los Angeles' world famous guitar collector Norman Harris, also coming to the attention of 'Nick 13' from Tiger Army.

Raised on a farm by the seaside in rural South Australia, Cookie Baker has performed live unstoppably her whole life; from force-feeding ‘concerts’ to her family on the front verandah on Christmas Day through her brand new Young Talent Time microphone, to the obsessive nature of a tween in youth theatre, to the all-consuming hold of secondary school drama, to the discovery of effortlessly putting the stories she had always written to song and crafting a magical, musical life of sharing them.

Deceivingly gentle melodies, cool wordsmithery, and the sparkling grit of her vocals that audiences have come to adore have taken Cookie performing around Australia and brought her to share stages with many esteemed Australian artists, including Augie March, Kate Miller-Heidke, Ben Lee, Angie Hart (Frente!), Mick Thomas (Weddings, Parties, Anything), Little Birdy, and The Audreys.
