Miss Kaninna, Genesis Owusu and King Stingray are among the homegrown musicians to feature on Heartbreak High’s starry season two soundtrack.
Breakout Australian teen drama series Heartbreak High has returned for its sophomore season on Netflix, delivering another dose of hormonal hijinks and melodramas courtesy of the fictional Hartley High.
Alongside ushering in a new vanguard of Australia’s premium acting talent — with standouts like Chloé Hayden as Quinni, Will McDonald as Cash and James Majoos as Darren — the show has platformed an equally buzzy array of homegrown musicians on its soundtrack.
Some members of the ensemble cast are musicians in their own right, with Ayesha Madon dropping her latest single ‘Eulogy’ in March and Bryn Chapman Parish’s band, Mac The Knife, releasing their EP ‘In The Shadow Of It All’ last month.
It’s enough to make Heartbreak High feel just as much a showcase of musical chops as it is of on screen talent, so here’s all the other Australian artists and standout tracks that appeared on the show’s second season.
