Adrian Eagle

After garnering widespread acclaim for his breakout singles ’17 Again’ and the ARIA-nominated ‘AOK’, as well as his guest appearance on the legendary Hilltop Hoods ARIA Award-winning single ‘Clark Griswold’, a sincere rendition of Ocean Alley’s ‘Confidence’ for Like A Version, and a massive national and international touring schedule, it has been a landmark couple of years for emerging Adelaide-bred singer-songwriter Adrian Eagle.

Breaking out in early 2018, the stirring ’17 Again’ and its inspirational music video find Adrian sharing his journey of overcoming suicidal thoughts and mental health issues after weighing a life-threatening 270kg at seventeen years old. Provocative, aspirational and instantly memorable, the track launched the South Australian native into the Australian music consciousness, with major support from Triple J and universal praise from the public and industry alike.
