Kirin J Callinan
Provocative Aussie singer / songwriter / actor Kirin J. Callinan is impressing audiences as a boundary-breaking solo artist after first coming to prominence as the enigmatic guitarist for Sydney-based indie rockers Mercy Arms. Equal parts Scott Walker, Trent Renor, Birthday Party-era Nick Cave and Bryan Ferry, Callinan cuts a mercurial, often primal and androgynous figure, as he dabbles in everything from arty, experimental rock (such as 2013's Embracism) to evocative electro-pop (on 2017's Bravado) obtuse and eclectic covers (2019’s Return To Center) and theatrical new wave (2024's If I Could Sing). As a collaborator, he’s worked with the best, from Mark Ronson, Connan Mockasin, Neil Finn and Weyes Blood, to more recently Genesis Owusu and Caroline Polacheck.
