Vorn Doolette has earned himself a reputation as a young songwriter of depth, creativity and maturity beyond his years.

Several people have said so. Important people. People who matter. Good looking people who have lives of whimsy, vigour and purity that unfortunate people like you could never understand. People like Dom Alessio from Triple J, and also this guy from Rolling Stone:

'Storytelling is an age-old craft, and one in which Vorn Doolette seems pretty well-versed...This troubadour stands at the forefront of a new wave of Australian folk with a mature approach to songwriting [and] a voice to rival the sorrowful crooning of Rufus Wainwright and Bonny 'Prince' Billy'
Rolling Stone, Aug 09

If this isn't enough to convince you that Vorn Doolette is better than sex on the moon, perhaps you should consider listening to him.

His 2009 album is a wonderfully sorrowful collection of well crafted song writing. Decadent, dark and delivered with heartfelt emotion, it feels quite real and honest. Keys, cello, violin, double bass help the songs hit the g spot and potentially send the listener into orgasmic musical spasms. p.s. Vorn's voice sounds like chocolate.

2011 brings a new beginning with Vorn completing over 20 house concerts in the homes of fans around the country. Utterly raw and energised with personal connection, these shows are without amplification. Audiences sit as close to the performer as possible, gaining an intense insight into the songs through subtlety and intimacy.

Vorn has done the following exciting things:

Opened for: Paul Kelly, Kaki King, Imogen Heap, Kate Miller Heidke, Lior, Nicky Bomba, Mike Noga (The Drones), Mihi Rangi, Jeff Martin

Festivals: Woodford 2010/2006, The National 2005/2006/2010, WOMAD 2010, Blue Mountains Music Festival 2006, Queenscliff Festival 2007

Accolades: Triple J Top Song Competition 2008, No 1 on Unearthed 2008, Unearthed feature artist 2008, Vocal Excellence Award National Folk Fest 2005

Attempts have been made to record a new album and they continue with renewed enthusiasm. 'When it's good it will be done' says Vorn. 'Hopefully before the end of 2011'. When the album is complete there will also be many public shows and house concerts...with snacks.
