Michael Honan

A perfectionist by nature, Michael Honan is a true born talent. Growing up in a country music household, the Warrnambool born and raised singer was pushed to learn the guitar at age 6 and just like that, became hooked. Developing his singer, songwriting and producing skills, Michael found his creative outlet during the COVID pandemic, where he began to post covers via Facebook which saw growing support from his local community.

Fresh off a standout performance at CMC Rocks 2025 as part of the Back Forty lineup, where he showcased his music as an emerging artist, Michael Honan is on an upward trajectory. In 2024, Michael delivered incredible breakout performances at the Ridin’ Hearts Festival in Sydney and Melbourne, winning the festival’s Ridin’ Starts competition - a pivotal moment in his career. That same year, he took part in APRA’s Melbourne To Nashville SongHubs songwriting camp, led by Nashville-based Australian songwriter and producer Lindsay Rimes. Michael was then among five participants selected to travel to Nashville for further writing sessions, where he had the chance to work with renowned and beloved Australian country music star Morgan Evans. He looks forward to sharing more of his music in the future.

Spending much of 2024, performing, writing, recording and perfecting his craft, 2025 is looking bright for the young singer-songwriter. Michael Honan is the rising Australian country artist who needs to be on everyone’s radar.
