Kristian Mizzi

Khristian Mizzi is a Melbourne artist known for his powerful original songs and his intimate live performances. Mizzi’s songs explore humanity, social injustice, and hope, inspiring and enlivening audiences wherever he plays.

Growing up in rural Victoria, Khristian developed an early love for music and was performing regularly by the age of sixteen. He has spent the last 20 years traveling up and down the highways of Australia, connecting with audiences in small towns, rural outposts, and big cities, and becoming a mainstay of the live music scene in Melbourne.

During that time, Khristian has released three studio albums – The Road Between (2008), A Beautiful World (2009), and Midwinter Spring (2014) – and toured both in Australia and internationally. Decades of experiences recording, playing live shows, and living as a global citizen and father have seen Mizzi grow into a seasoned artist who brings a quiet, vibrant calm to his live performances.

With a folk sound that recalls the greats of the 1970’s Contemporary Folk movements, Mizzi creates a connection with the past while offering a fresh new voice to the ‘words and chords’ tradition.
The recent release of the single ‘We Ain’t All Equal’ – a stirring cry for action in the face of political cruelty and social apathy – marks Khristian Mizzi’s first solo release since his acclaimed debut in 2008. It is the first single from his upcoming EP, which is set for release in 2017.

“His voice is just like a big warm hug” – Pia Nesvara (Singer/Songwriter)

​“Aching, folk music that speaks of Australian history, underpinned by a wonderful melodic sensibility. Stirring stuff” – Anthea Palmer, (Sound Music Business)
