Nicole Millar

Nicole Millar is a pivotal figure in the Australian electronic-pop landscape of the 2010s. Born in Canada and based in Sydney, she first achieved massive commercial success as the featured vocalist and co-writer of Peking Duk's triple-platinum hit 'High', which won the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release in 2014.

This early exposure established her as a premier 'top-line' vocalist for the burgeoning Australian EDM scene, collaborating with heavyweights like Cosmo's Midnight and What So Not. However, her solo career represents a deliberate shift toward a more curated indie-pop identity. Her debut album 'Excuse Me' (2018) was the result of a global creative journey, involving sessions in Sweden and Los Angeles with producers like xSDTRK and Hoodboi. Critically, she is noted for her 'soul-melting' vocal delivery and her ability to maintain a distinct artistic voice within highly produced electronic environments. Her work often explores themes of self-discovery and modern relationships, positioned within a soundscape that balances commercial accessibility with atmospheric, indie-leaning textures. She remains a key reference point for the 'Australian sound' of the mid-2010s, characterized by bright synths and ethereal female vocals.
