Since their debut in 2021, Dojo Rise have been igniting stages with their dynamic presence and infectious grooves.

“Really sinking into that Dub Reggae and Soul sound. They are building the foundation, I think within this country, for that sound, and I absolutely love it.” — Tyrone Pynor, Triple J

Led by Adam Blesing (vocals, bass), Sean Dedrick (vocals, guitar, production), and Ben Todd (drums), Dojo Rise have built a strong reputation as a must-see live act. Their relentless touring schedule has seen them perform at major festivals, including WOMADelaide, Woodford Folk Festival, Pranafest, and so many more  while sharing stages with international and Australian heavyweights like Michael Franti & Spearhead, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Sons of Zion, Skunkhour, Tijuana Cartel, and Bootleg Rascal.

“It just leans into how great they are as a soulful roots reggae outfit.” — Nkechi Anele, Triple J

With eight singles and two EPs already under their belt, Dojo Rise continue to push boundaries, crafting a sound that unites and uplifts. Whether headlining sold-out shows or bringing their signature feel-good festival energy to thousands, Dojo Rise are fast becoming one of Australia’s most exciting live acts.

“Dojo Rise may only be a trio, but the breadth of their sound was rich and guttural while exuding continuous finesse. If you haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favour and do so.” — Anita Kertes, Hifiway.live
