Lior

From Australia

In early 2005, Lior released his critically acclaimed debut album Autumn Flow. The album went Gold, making it one of the most successful independent debut releases by an Australian artist. Lior's sound is a rootsy mix of styles that always harks back to the lyric and melody. With Middle Eastern heritage, Lior also keeps the music of his bloodline close to the surface, but it is Lior's voice that has drawn most attention, capable of both power and tenderness and always delivered with soul in its truest sense.Autumn Flow went on to be nominated for 'Australian Album of the Year’ and achieved three ARIA Awards nominations including Lior’s nomination for ‘Best Male Artist’. The album was one of the year's most successful independent releases and in 2006 is being released internationally.Due to the overwhelming response to Autumn Flow and his dynamic live show, Lior released a live album in 2006 – Doorways Of My Mind.
