South-African born with Sri-Lankan (Tamil) heritage and an upbringing in Naarm/Melbourne, Ecca strutted her way onto the musical landscape in 2015 in traditional punk-style with an edgy disposition and something to say. Ecca’s debut ‘White Flag’ hit the nerve of a raucous youth, securing high rotation on triple j and rave reviews. With the momentum of ‘Battle Royal’ and ‘End of Time’ in her wings, Ecca would go on to soar with her self-titled debut album – her biggest release yet. Featuring Sampa The Great on ‘Your Orbit’ and fan favourite ‘Future Heroine’, acclaim includes Rolling Stone who delivered 4.5 stars for the ‘vibrant, dazzling collection of tunes’, while NME lauded the album’s ‘absolutely banging, genre-bending anthems for a generation’.

Ecca Vandal’s versatility extends outside the studio, just as comfortable in the arenas of Queens of the Stone Age and Gang of Youths, as with electronic greats The Prodigy and Young Fathers. With varied international headline runs and festival appearances across 2018/19 at Reading (UK), Leads (UK), AfroPunk (Paris) and Download (UK), her most notable collaborations include Hilltop Hoods for ‘Exit Sign’ and Alice Ivy’s ‘In My Mind’, rewarded for her embrace of the challenge in juxtaposing her own sound via collaborations with a stream of dedicated and diverse fans seamlessly across genre boundaries.
