Born in Uruguay and now based in Byron Bay, Australia, Felipe Baldomir is a coastal indie-folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music reflects a life shaped by different coastlines, cultures and communities.

With his fourth studio album, Beach Day (November 2026), Felipe is entering his biggest chapter yet, taking his music across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the UK, South Africa and South America throughout 2026–2027 including a stopover in Geelong on 29th January 2027.

Beach Day is a feel-good collection of songs inspired by life on the Australian coastline. It’s upbeat, indie, fresh and just a lot of fun — music made to put a smile on your face at any time of day.

The album has a sound of its own, shaped by Felipe’s love of outdoor living, surfing and the feeling of freedom that comes with life on the road. Alongside the music, he has created a Beach Day Art Collection to bring the world of the record to life beyond the songs.

At the centre of the project is Felipe’s live show. A multi-instrumentalist and live-looping artist, he layers groovy guitar riffs, drums, keys, synths and saxophone in real time to create a dynamic, full-band sound while performing solo.

What started with busking, van life and backyard shows has grown over the years into sold-out headline shows and festival stages around the world.

“The dream for me has always been to take the music to all corners of the world, connect with like-minded people and experience new cultures whereverthe music takes me.

”Felipe’s first three albums —Nature Speaks (2018),Only Light (2021) andTides (2024) — each mark a different chapter in the journey, evolving hissound while staying rooted in nature, freedom, connection and life on the road.

Now comes Beach Dayand the biggest chapter yet. A new album, a new show and a whole lot of new places to go.
