She may seem as American as baseball and burgers, but is a thoroughbred Aussie and was born in Adelaide.
After nearly quitting a career in which she'd had very little success as a pop singer, Sia teamed up with for his hit Titanium and everything changed. Now, she's one of the biggest popstars on the planet and has written hits for some of the biggest stars in the world.

As , 25 year old Harley Streton is one of the coolest names in dance music and singles from his second album Skin, Never Be Like You and Say It were played heavily on Radio 1 in 2016.
He mixes trap influences with a bit of hip hop and just enough pop to stand out from the rest of the dance world and make him a truly special talent.
Kylie and Danni

Try talking about Australian music and not mentioning a Minogue. It's not possible and shouldn't be allowed.

Not only have Tame Impala released two hugely successful albums, but frontman Kevin Parker also teamed up with and to pen her 2016 single, Perfect Illusion.

debut album Since I Left You is widely considered one of the best Australian albums of all time. Their follow up, Wildflower, is pretty popular too.
A production duo, the band made their name by taking random samples and turning them into huge pop hits, later moving into a more hip-hop influenced sound.
The Veronicas
(Warning: Third party videos may contain adverts)
There aren't enough twins in music, especially twins like , who have been releasing major pop hits for more than a decade (from 4eva in 2005 to In My Blood in 2015).
So if you think the Minogues are the only Australian singing sisters of note, then you've been sleeping on the impressive work of Lisa and Jessica Origliasso.
Empire Of The Sun
(Warning: Third party videos may contain adverts)
There's more to than just having the biggest hats in music. Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore also have a knack for making exceptional pop music, most notably worldwide hits Walking On A Dream and We Are The People from their debut album.
Dami Im
(Warning: Third party videos may contain adverts)
If you watched 2016 you'll know that was probably robbed. She's mates with Danni Minogue after finding fame in Australia on The X Factor, which gives her a little extra Aussie cool.
