Sietta - Seventh Passenger

Darwin's newest hip-hop duo SIETTA are singer Caiti Barker and producer James Mangohig. Signed to one of Australia's most influential hip-hop label, Elefant Traks (The Herd, Urthboy, Ozi Batla), they have excited listeners nationwide with their fiery electronic soul. With a voice influenced by the rugged blues of Etta James and Memphis Minnie, Caiti's powerful presence and themes of empowerment, love and hurt leave an unforgettable mark on the listener. On 'The Seventh Passenger', Sietta embrace a grittier direction, coating it in a disarmingly alluring voice. Crucial to what makes Sietta special is producer James Mangohig's street-smart bass and drums, a reimagined electronic sound heavily influenced by hip hop. You have to be a real music lover to bring together indie sensibilities and dubstep aesthetics, rhythm & blues and industrial sounds, into a soul joint. They can crosswire synths and electronics to blow speakers, but also strip it back to an acoustic guitar revealing universal appeal. Coproduction and mixing is by APRA and AIR Award winning producer Count Bounce (Tzu, Sparkadia, Urthboy).
