​Brett Voss has been involved in the Australian music scene since the late 1980's with a number of musical projects. In the early 90's he was guitarist and songwriter with grunge rock band Filter, who were heavily involved in the alternative Brisbane rock scene in that era. This was followed by his work as songwriter, guitarist and vocalist for Starbug. During their time working together Starbug released a self-titled EP "Starbug" in 1996 and the single "Travelling Circus" in 1998. This was followed by the self-produced EP "All Over Again" in 2003. This early work was recently packaged and released as the album "All Over Again" in 2022. In the early 2000's Brett graduated from the Queensland Conservatorium's Bachelor of Popular Music program with honours, later returning to work within the program as a technical manager and sessional lecturer in music technology. Working as a sessional lecturer he lectured and tutored in the areas of music programming, music production, live performance and music technology history. Brett has worked in a freelance capacity as a music producer/audio engineer and as a self-produced independent artist. In recent years he has focused on solo releases with the release of "Falling Forwards" in 2010, the single "About Love" in 2019 and the EP "Inside" in 2019. In 2024 he released the EP "The Days of Being". In 2025 he continues to work on songwriting, music production and music performance projects with his latest single "Another way" released in October 2025. 

Reviews

A musical style incorporating alternative rock with flourishes of '80s glam, underpinned by guitar-driven grit layered in indie sensibilities and introspective lyrics, Voss returns with new single 'Another Way'.
Radio-friendly pop-rock featuring taut yet precise guitar riffs that hum with an intensity fused to textured drumming that fleshes out the melody, the rhythm flows freely.
Voss' vocals remain clear, almost conversational, a hint of weariness shackled to the realisation that remaining steadfast in a deteriorating situation is a fool's errand. Add the atmospheric synths layered in the background and 'Another Way' percolates with a melodic juiciness. The sonic landscape sees 'Another Way' fall somewhere between Live and The Killers; polished contemporary indie rock that harkens back to the grunge-filled alternative days of the '90s.

Brett Voss has been venturing in a side solo project over the past decade. His new release, Another Way, is a guitar-driven Aussie rock track laced with 80s-90s nostalgia. The song reflects on second chances and the courage it takes to move forward, pairing heartfelt lyrics with moody tones. “The song is about that moment you realise you have to shift gears. About understanding that holding onto a difficult situation isn’t always strength. Sometimes, true strength is finding the courage to say, ‘There must be another way,’ and actually taking that first step.” Brett knows his stuff, having spent decades performing under the name Starbug, and was also a founding member of 90s grunge band Filter. They disbanded before the famed US band rose to fame around the same time under the same name.

​Previously releasing music under his own name, Brett Voss has released an EP under new project The Days of Being. The four-track release is beautifully-produced with each track building on the previous to tell a story about new beginnings, coming to terms with change and making sense of life. Rock is at the core of these four songs with solid guitar, great songwriting and big vocals.

​Brett Voss’ EP ‘Inside’ is a seamless collection of new-wave influenced indie guitar pop gems. Jangly layered guitars and anthemic choruses lead the way on this snappy four track release which gets the job done in just over 12 minutes. Highlight tracks include the uplifting opener ‘Inside’ and the punchy ‘Either Way’.
