Lo-Fi Australia

Lo-Fi Australia is a not-for-profit community built by and for independent Australian musicians.

We believe that music should be shared, not hidden behind paywalls, algorithms or marketing budgets. Our mission is simple: to help local artists be heard, to connect fans with real homegrown music, and to make Australian sound part of everyday listening again.

Through curated playlists, gig listings and shared promotion, we give artists and listeners a place to support one another. Every stream, every share, and every gig helps the whole community grow, because when one of us gets heard, we all get heard.

This isn’t a business, it’s a movement: artists, fans, and friends building something real together.
No bots. No hype. No corporate noise.
Just real sound, made here.

About the Founder

Lo_Fi Australia was founded by John O’Sullivan, a Sydney-based songwriter and independent artist who performs under the name Sullie.

After years of releasing original music and connecting with communities such as New Artist Spotlight, John saw how difficult it was for Australian artists to be discovered. Streaming platforms are full of talent, but real visibility often depends more on marketing budgets than on the quality or honesty of the music.

Lo Fi Australia was created from that frustration, but also from hope. It’s built on the idea that artists can lift each other up by sharing audiences, playlists and gigs rather than competing for attention.

John’s goal is to create a not for profit platform that celebrates original Australian sound and helps independent artists connect with real listeners, locally and beyond.

“When we share our music, our fans and our stories, we all get heard.”
– John O’Sullivan (Sullie)
