GOLDHEIST, known offstage as Hester Fraser, is and Australian artist whose music is a rich blend of storytelling and classical influences, deeply rooted in the Australian landscape. Her sound, which has been likened to luminaries such as Kate Bush, melds lyrical storytelling with an evocative musical style, drawing listeners into vivid narratives of Australian life from the bush and beyond.

Her career highlights include an album launch at the Sydney Opera House, winning the People's Choice Award at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, performances at the Fleurieu Folk Festival (SA), Sandford Bush Festival (VIC), and a concert in Naracoorte Cave (SA) whilst on tour with acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Andrew Clermont. She has earned accolades in songwriting competitions, affirming her skill as a lyricist, performer and composer. Her albums REALM and EYES OF LOVE showcase her musical journey, devolving from electronic to acoustic sounds, and addressing themes of love, loss, and the beauty of imperfection.

Beyond entertainment, GOLDHEIST uses her platform for social causes such as drought relief and support for people seeking asylum, demonstrating her commitment to community and social justice. Her innovative performances, including collaborations with visual artists and the integration of Australian Sign Language (AUSLAN) for VIVID Festival highlight her dedication to making art accessible and impactful across diverse communities.
