don west

retro soul / songwriter

sydney, australia

if you listen to don west and feel like you’ve been transported back to the 60s & 70s, it’s okay. you, for better or worse, are still in 2025 and the vintage pipes you hear with the horns and the motown flavor is the revival this world needed.

FITTING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A VINYL RECORD OF MARVIN GAYE AND THE SLEEVE OF THE NEW MICHAEL KIWANUKA OR DURAND JONES ALBUM, DON JUST HAS EVERYTHING IT TAKES TO BE THE TORCHBEARER FOR THE MODERN RETRO SOUL REVIVAL. WHAT WE WOULDN’T GIVE TO BE SITTING IN A SMALL LA JAZZ CLUB, SMOKE FOGGING THE WALLS AND MARTINIS FLOWING, LISTENING TO DON UP ON A CARPETED STAGE IN FRONT OF 200 FOLKS SETTING THE MOOD RIGHT. CONSIDER US LA LA LAND NOSTALGICS, BUT GODDAMN IT’D BE A TRIP TO THE PAST THAT WE WOULDN’T EVER WANT TO LEAVE.
