About

Australian songwriter Domini Forster leads you through the dusk-lit corridors of her intricate song-stories, each scene intimate and lovelorn as tea-stained lace. Her distinctive voice shifts effortlessly from commanding call to whisper-close falsetto, earning her comparisons to the likes of Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell.

Forster’s most recent single Hard Love (Feb 2025) was shortlisted for the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition and playlisted by Rage. Hard Love is the second single from Forster’s upcoming second album The Lonely, out 2 May.

Beginning her career as a finalist in Triple J Unearthed High, Forster went on to make a strong impression on the Melbourne music scene in 2013 with her EP Little Dreamer produced by Tony Buchen (Montaigne, Thelma Plum). Her debut album Raven followed in 2017, earning her a 9/10 from Beat Magazine, features in the PBS Top 10 and RRR Soundscape, and the coveted Darebin Songwriter’s Award.

In late 2021, Forster collaborated with ARIA-Award winning artist Lior to release their duo EP Animal in Hiding, receiving 4.5 star reviews in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald and extensive national coverage on ABC radio. Lior & Domini toured the EP throughout 2022-23, playing over 60 shows across the country including appearances at MONA (TAS), Port Fairy Folk Festival (VIC) and Woodford Folk Festival (QLD).

‘If you find yourself thinking no two voices have melded quite as seamlessly since Simon & Garfunkel, you wouldn’t be far off the mark’ - Jessie Cunniffe, Sydney Morning Herald
