Felipe Baldomir is a Coastal Indie-Folk singer/songwriter from Uruguay, South America, currently based in Byron Bay, Australia. People often refer to his music as a blend of Jack Johnson, Xavier Rudd and Tash Sultana.

Since arriving in Sydney in August 2018, he has converted a van into a ‘rolling home & studio’ and has been performing nationwide. From busking in the streets, playing backyard shows & supporting local musicians such as Kim Churchill, Jack Botts, The Dreggs, etc, to headlining sold-out shows all around Australia & playing at iconic festivals such as Queenscliff Music Festival, Changing Tides Festival, Ocean Sounds, NYE On The Hill, Frankston Waterfront Festival, etc (sharing the stage with Aussie legends like Xavier Rudd, Ziggy Alberts, Temper Trap, Boy & Bear, Dan Sultan, etc).
