Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist, known for her witty, rambling lyrics and deadpan singing style that have captured the hearts of indie rock fans worldwide. Born on November 3, 1987, in Sydney, Barnett started her musical career in 2009 but gained international acclaim with her 2013 EP "The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas." Her candid storytelling, carved with slacker vibes and a sharp, observant eye, set the tone for her breakthrough in the indie scene.

Her debut album, "Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit" (2015), catapulted her to greater heights, earning her nominations for Grammy and Brit Awards and consolidating her position as a critical darling. Barnett's music has a lo-fi charm and energetic garage rock appeal, accompanied by thoughtful examinations of the mundane and the profound in everyday life. Albums like 2018's "Tell Me How You Really Feel" and her most recent "Things Take Time, Take Time" showcase Barnett's growth as a songwriter, who can turn introspection into anthemic, yet intimate, expressions of universal emotions. Her authenticity and distinctive style are also reflected in live albums such as "MTV Unplugged Live In Melbourne," which capture the rawer essence of her craft. As an active and prolific artist, Barnett continues to contribute to various projects and soundtracks, such as "Smile Real Nice" from the Apple TV+ Original Series "Harriet the Spy," proving her versatility and enduring appeal in the contemporary music scene.
