Arising from Kiama, NSW, Bronte Alva Guggisberg wrote her first song at the age of 7 about a primary school crush. As a way to deal with her strong emotions, many more songs became, writing about heartache, the good times, and the not so good. In her senior year of school, Bronte recorded her first demo and uploaded it to triple J Unearthed with their inaugural Unearthed High competition in mind. Whilst the bedroom recording didn’t make it into the finales, it was found on Unearthed by fellow South Coast band ’The Terrys’, and they spotted a diamond in the rough. Bronte went on to re-record that original demo with The Terrys' record producer and is now what we know to be “Eve’s Lips (Make Me Want To Cry)” would be Bronte Alva’s debut single. The Terrys fascination of this new project would continue to see Bronte Alva perform her very first live shows supporting the band across Australia’s East Coast. Now graduated from High School, Bronte continues to write about the struggles of growing up, entering adulthood, and the nuances of existing as a young woman in 2022. Bronte Alva’s love of storytelling sees her naturally draw inspiration from artists such as Norah Jones, Angie McMahon, and Julia Jacklin, with an effortless embedding of the silliness and excitement that comes with being a young adult. With lyrics that are equal parts sweet, crude and heartbreaking Bronte Alva and her inherit ability to tell stories through song will have you feeling young again, evoking the good memories... and the bad.
