Adrian Dzvuke

Adrian Dzvuke (pronounced Zu-Kay) is one to watch. With a dynamic stage presence and unique sound, the multi-award winning Afropop artist has cemented his status as one of the most sought-after emerging artists in Australia, receiving cosigns from global legends like Coldplay and Tame Impala along the way.

After moving to Australia from Zimbabwe at age 12, Adrian began his musical journey singing and playing drums in church. His roots in African rhythms and his passion for blending Afrobeats, R&B, and Pop genres shine through in his music.

Adrian’s meteoric rise is evidenced by his electrifying performances at prestigious events like Splendour In The Grass, Listen Out, Groovin The Moo, SXSW Sydney, BIGSOUND, Music Matters Live (Singapore) and Canadian Music Week (Canada). He has also shared the stage with acclaimed acts such as Spacey Jane, Omah Lay, grentperez, POND, San Cisco, Stella Donnelly, and Kizz Daniel. Recently, Adrian caught the eye of none other than global superstars Coldplay, who hand selected him to support for their only Australian tour appearance in his home town of Perth, in front of 60,000 people.

His 2021 debut EP, Phone Me When You Lonely, and 2023 project Don’t Worry Bout It Sweetheart, have witnessed notable collaborations with Julia Stone, Tasman Keith, Beckah Amani and Nigerian artist Tim Lyre, garnering him attention from major platforms like Triple J, BBC Radio, Rolling Stone Magazine, NME, MTV, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and VEVO.

Most recently, Adrian blended electronic music with his signature Afropop sound on his latest EP now that it’s over. This bold new era has seen him work with Australian electronic heavyweights Hermitude, Golden Features & Slumberjack, alongside JUNO Award-winning singer TOME.

Adrian’s path has been marked by sold-out shows, international tours, and almost 5 million streams. His ever-evolving sound proves he is unafraid to push boundaries and redefine what the future of Australian music can be.
