ROTHBART is a Melbourne-based artist crafting emotional, eclectic, bass-driven music built for both movement and melody. Drawing from a lifetime of absorbed sound, his work pulls freely from across music cultures and eras, reshaping them into songs that are as visceral as they are melodic — beats you can dance to, hooks you can sing, and moments that hit with real weight.

Existing releases span a wide spectrum, from industrial textures to house-driven energy, unified by a commitment to experimentation and feeling over genre. His latest project is a video-focused album that tells the story of a sentient smartphone attempting to survive — and succeed — in today’s entertainment landscape. The narrative unfolds through a collision of hip-hop, house, and punk-rock, using visuals and sound together to explore identity, ambition, and relevance in a hyper-mediated world.

With over a decade spent working as a quadruple threat across film, writing, acting, and music, Rothbart approaches his artistry with a cinematic eye and a storyteller’s instinct. Positioned as a genre-blending pop icon in the making, his work sits at the intersection of music, narrative, and visual culture — ambitious, self-aware, and built for the stage as much as the screen.
