About Me


"Esther Sparkes has all the right elements (youth, beauty, and endless talents) she needs to take her to the top of the music game. She sings with a powerful vocal that is full of raw passion that music fans will easily find appealing." Isaac Davis Jr - Junior Caves Online Magazine http://www.juniorscave.com/Esther-Sparkes.html
With great responses from industry peers stating that her music is current, original and well written Esther Sparkes is beginning to emerge as an Artist not just a songwriter.
"I think about music 98% of my day - its pretty disturbing how much I love it!" Esther Sparkes
Esther Sparkes is a gifted and genuine young singer/songwriter who loves to create music in a multitude of genres. Specializing in Pop/Rock.
Her knowledge of the technical side to creating music gives her a great advantage over many other aspiring musicians. After completing studies in the field of Audio Engineering she is currently working at one of the Australia's largest Recording and Mastering studio's and gaining an insight into the music industry many people can only dream of.
She is beginning to gain momentum on the songwriting scene collaborating with some of Australia veteran & up & coming Songwriters & Producers. Working with DNA Songs who have written or produced tracks for Grinspoon, Amy Pearson, Shannon Knoll, Jessica Mauboy & Michael Paynter, Esther's stand out tracks would be "Am I Awake" & "What Changed" but there's more where that came from! With a genuine talent for songwriting, a great pop sensibility and a sensational voice she is defiantly one creative musician to look out for in the coming years.
