Anthony Forrest

Anthony Forrest is a formidable vocalist, instrumentalist, producer and composer. His years as singer and songwriter for Australian reggae/dub heavyweight Kingfisha has honed these self-taught disciplines to create something truly rare and inspirational.

Brisbane five-piece Kingfisha spent a decade crafting their own blend of modern dub style reggae with an understated soul vocal. Their live show was relished from Europe to Africa with an impeccable reputation back home as Australia’s bass-heavy roof-raisers, winning accolades from Triple J Unearthed Roots and Queensland Music Awards. Forrest also spent time on the mike with Brissie bands Kooii, and Promiscuous.

Anthony’s latest project, under his own namesake, continues to break new ground and is everything you’d expect from this exceptional artist. Forrest was a Top 50 finalist in the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition for his solo work.

Collaborating with West End producer Peet Gardner (So Soap studios) the two artists have mixed their talents, combining Peets cutting edge production and Anthony's compositions to create their distinctive Soul/Electro sound. A heavy soul bass tip sprinkled with electronic synths and overlaid with Anthony's ethereal vocals, Forrest’s creations will leave you simultaneously wanting for nothing and wanting more.
