A sonic experience like no other, WunderSounds is a musical wonderland filled bringing powerful storytelling and incredible musicianship together for two jam-packed hours of spectacular music!
This year, we’re doubling down with two headliners. Our first headliner is powerhouse singer/songwriter Emma Tomlinson who seamlessly blends pop, RNB, alterative and pop-classical genres with her originals and covers. She is joined by Jungaji, a First Nations songman, visual artist, playwright, social justice and mental health advocate who has been active in the Australian music industry for three decades.
Supporting them are the forthright and uninhibited, slacker punk-rock SAMMM. and the stunning Nethra (The Voice Australia 2024), whose music mixes Indian vocal flair with Western music offering a unique, yet accessible sound.

Jungaji is a proud Western Gugu Yalanji and Birrigubba songman whose creative journey spans over 30 years across music, visual art, theatre and cultural advocacy. Formerly known as Troy Brady, he first emerged in the 1990s as a member of Inala’s groundbreaking R&B group Aim 4 More. Today, redefined and reborn as Jungaji – a name meaning “rock, strength, and knowledge”. He stands as a powerful transmitter of ancient knowledge through a contemporary lens.
His debut solo album Betting on Blak debuted at Number One on the Australian Independent Record (AIR) Charts and #8 in the Aus ARIA charts in June 2025, marking a historic moment for a First Nations artist.
Jungaji’s sound weaves together Soul, R&B, World Music and cultural storytelling, offering a bold, authentic expression of First Nations identity and resilience. A fluent Gugu Yalanji speaker and cultural custodian, he shares songlines with smooth, heartfelt delivery that resonates across generations and cultures.
Jungaji is a songwriter, visual artist, playwright, and a respected advocate for social justice, living with Lupus and speaks openly about his lived experiences around mental health and suicide. His work uplifts communities and amplifies First Nations voices in national and global conversations. Jungaji’s artistry is not just heard, it’s felt, embodying the spirit of cultural survival and creative transformation.
SAMMM. is forthright and uninhibited – with just the right balance of vigor and angst scattered throughout their slacker punk-rock sound.
With a love for brutally authentic lyrics and an infectious stage energy, a loyal fan base in Meanjin/Brisbane has seen SAMMM. appear at Mountain Goat Valley Crawl, Yonder Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, and join bills with the likes of WAAX, Regurgtaitor, RVG, Frankie & The Witch Fingers (USA), and more.
Known for his ability to dig deep, SAMMM.’s songwriting touches on taboo struggles with addiction, and the difficult road of recovery.
