8:59 pm - Indie Spotlight Melbourne

Markoe is a Melbourne-based soul-pop artist who made a bold leap from primary school teacher and mother of two, into the unpredictable world of music. Her rebrand wasn’t subtle—it was a full transformation. She traded lesson plans for lyrics, left behind a former artist name, and rebuilt from the ground up with a sound that’s raw, ambitious, and emotionally fearless. Markoe is making music that lives in the grey—between motherhood and ambition, desire and duty, past pain and present growth. Drawing influence from like Billie Eilish’s stripped-back vulnerability and Ariana Grande’s Sweetener, Markoe explores mental health, love, trauma, and the emotional weight of everyday life. Her music is raw, reflective, and haunting—written for anyone navigating the quiet in-between spaces of ambition and identity.
