Australian singer Don West is bringing his rich, Motown-inspired sound to La Nau as part of Primavera Sound’s Primavera Tours. Infusing his music with his Aussie roots, he’s created a sound that’s been called “coastal soul”, mixing breezy, sun-soaked sounds with blues, gospel, and 60s/70s soul. He’s been compared to the likes of Leon Bridges, Curtis Mayfield and Jalen Ngonda - no easy feat for a newcomer. 

The Sydney-based singer released his self-titled debut EP back in 2024, which quickly gained international traction with songs like “Small Change” and “Rather Be Lonely”. The result? He’s earned himself millions of internet streams and lifted his Spotify listeners into the hundreds of thousands. His latest single, “Julia”, continues the momentum with his signature smoky grooves, cementing his place as one of soul’s most promising new voices. If you’re looking for a new soundtrack to your summer, it’s got to feature Don West.
