428 original artists are available to book in Australia, with 539 reviews from real clients rating performances 5 out of 5. These are acts that perform their own material: singer-songwriters and singing guitarists at one end, original bands, rappers and DJ-producers at the other, and most of them mix their own songs with covers so a set works for a crowd that has never heard them.
Booking fees start from $170 for a solo acoustic set and most bookings sit around $600, with the size of the act and the length of the set deciding the rest. Sort the results below by price to compare fees before you enquire.

Wedding Bands in AustraliaOriginal artists in Australia range from a solo singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar to a full band or a rapper with a DJ, and the common thread is a repertoire they wrote themselves. Some have released records and play festivals; others are working musicians who fold three or four of their own songs into a covers set. The profile tells you which, and the audio and video on it are the quickest way to judge whether the sound fits the event.
Original acts suit the parts of an event where people listen rather than dance: a drinks reception, a dinner, a festival slot or a launch where the music is meant to be noticed. For a wedding party or a dancefloor, ask how much of the set is covers, because a room full of guests who do not know the songs is the one thing an originals act cannot fix. Many will learn a first-dance song or a request if asked in advance.
Fees for original artists in Australia run from $170 to $2,850+, with most bookings around $600. A solo acoustic set sits at the bottom of the range and a band with its own sound engineer at the top; an act with a following charges for the name as well as the set. Travel and a PA, where the venue has none, are the usual extras.
The average price is $600 (AUD), with most priced from $170 to $2,850+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Andrew Borg Music. Solo Singer/guitarist
"Chloe's Wedding in Pentland Hills, Nov 2024
Andrew was incredible. We hired him for both my dad's 60th and then my wedding a few weeks later and both times he blew us away. All of our guests were commenting on how good he was. We just let him do his thing and he gauged the audience and played the perfect music. We not only love his style and voice but him as a person, he was an absolute delight to have on our special days."
