RONA. is a Mparntwe and Naarm-based producer, Kaytetye artist and DJ. Moving between these two spaces, RONA. explores connections between the industrial dance floors of Naarm to the soundscapes and rhythms of her home. Making appearances alongside Four Tet, Bradley Zero, Leon Vynehall, Jon Talabot and Chaos in the CBD, as well as featuring on lineups across Pitch Music and Arts Festival, Sun Cycle, Strawberry Fields and Falls Festivals, RONA. launched her debut EP whilst on tour with RÜFÜS DU SOL. In 2023, RONA. made her Splendour in the Grass debut, and supported UK duo Overmono on their Australian tour. RONA.’s debut EP Closure prioritised finding balance in the chaos of life via meditative dance music. Closure scored widespread acclaim on release, including airplay from community radio nationally, triple j, Double j and press accolades from the likes of Mixmag and The Guardian. RONA. shapes sounds for the ongoing journey of finding connection between many worlds, combining the soundscapes of country and place with synths and melodies that pack emotional punch. Drawing from these distinct spaces, her infectious sound can stir any dance floor through thoughtful and moving electronica. With the 2023 release of Aperleye, stay tuned for more to arrive from one of Australia’s most talented and astute producers.
