Ziggy Alberts: A Journey of Success

Ziggy Alberts is no stranger to success, having built a dedicated global following through a combination of steadfast touring, captivating songwriting, and an independent ethos that has seen him thrive without the backing of a major label. An artist who has mastered the acoustic charm of busking and intimate venues to the electrifying energy of sold-out world stages - all as a solo act. Alberts is now entering a new phase of his artistic journey with his seventh studio album, New Love, set for release in February 2025.

Early Career and Rise to Fame

From his early days busking on the streets of Byron Bay, Alberts has understood the power of direct connection with his audience. His rise has been driven not only by his emotionally resonant folk songs but by his determination to bring his music directly to fans. Now a decade into his career, he has grown his fanbase the old-fashioned way: by playing show after show, year after year, turning small rooms into sold-out venues across the globe.

New Love World Tour

In 2024, as part of his New Love World Tour, he has delivered standout performances, including headline sets at Bluesfest Byron Bay and co-headlining Australia's SummerSalt tour with Matt Corby and James Bay. His tour has taken him across Europe, the UK, North America, Indonesia, and even into new territories like Mexico and Japan. This momentum follows his 2023 Rewind World Tour, where he performed for over 110,000 people and sold out iconic venues like London's Eventim Apollo.

Independent Success and Creative Autonomy

Notably, Alberts has achieved all of this as an independent artist, without the support of a major label. His commitment to creative autonomy led to the founding of his own label, Commonfolk Records, through which he has continued to release music and grow his career on his terms. This independence has allowed Alberts to stay true to his artistic vision, taking risks that have paid off.

Discography and Achievements

His discography has garnered over a billion streams, with hits like Runaway and Love Me Now earning millions of listens, while as of October 2024 his singles Laps Around The Sun and Runaway achieved ARIA Triple Platinum status. Fan favourites like Days In The Sun and Gone and his EP Four Feet In The Forest have also now received Double Platinum status; Hands I Can Hold and Together reaching Platinum status and another seven tracks plus his Land album reaching Gold status (Don't Get Caught Up, Heartbeat, Letting Go, On Hold, Start Over, Together (Instrumental), and Worn Out). Alberts has also won two APRA Music Awards for Most Performed Blues and Roots Work in 2022 and 2024, solidifying his impact on the Australian music scene.

Upcoming Project: New Love

Now, Alberts is on the verge of releasing his most ambitious project yet: New Love. Born from extensive touring and crafted for live performance, this album underscores his commitment to delivering music that deeply resonates with his audience. With a devoted following and an impressive catalogue, the New Love era promises to make one thing clear: Ziggy Alberts isn't just an artist you should know - he's the one you need to know.
