Jaguar Jonze

“..nothing short of a manifold visionary” (Flaunt), Jaguar Jonze has had a non-stop two years, becoming a public vessel for change and accountability in the Australian music industry, while simultaneously focusing on her creative artistry. The result, her debut album BUNNY MODE finds Jaguar Jonze triumphant, unwilling to be complicit in a culture of silence and to speak up to an industry that was banking on her staying quiet. "I've given myself permission to feel the emotions that I've been holding back on for so long, to find my voice and use it in this world," she says, "Because I know my worth now. And I do have something to say." Her recent singles have received praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, triple j, MTV, NME, and she was named a feature artist on BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists with Jack Saunders. In honour of her advocacy to raise awareness on discrimination and abuse within the music industry, and pushing practitioners to operate in a safe and respectful environment, Jaguar Jonze has been awarded the triple j Done Good Award, AIR Outstanding Achievement Award, Australian Women in Music Change Maker Award, named one of the 21 Most Inspiring Women of 2021 by Vogue Australia and most recently named in The Australian’s inaugural Top 100 cultural change makers list. Jaguar Jonze continues her advocacy work including in the group that commissioned the Music Industry Review of sexual harm, sexual harassment and systemic discrimination in the contemporary Australian music industry and recommendations for reform. As best described in her own words, "the heat that is picking up and fanning those tiny fires into a blaze of reckoning" (Billboard). See Jaguar Jonze live on the BUNNY MODE Australian tour this June and July, and supporting The Wombats on their Australian tour this June.
