Robby De Sa excels at highlighting individual voices, whether it’s that of a solo artist or a full band. Born in South Africa and now based in Sydney, the rising producer is also an in-demand songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His proper breakthrough came after helming The Veronicas’ gold-selling 2019 single “Think of Me,” all dreamy momentum and confessional intimacy. Since then, De Sa has brought a similar level of immediacy to Australian acts like Polish Club, MAY-A, Vera Blue, grentperez, and Gretta Ray. He typically specializes in lyric-driven alt-pop and alt-rock, as heard on Blusher’s pulsing 2023 celebration of messy youth, “Dead End,” and Carla Wehbe’s sneakily cathartic 2024 anthem, “Sideshow.” De Sa always makes it sound as if the singer is confiding directly to us, even as the hooks and choruses help to sell those relatable emotions.
