Wade Forster doesn’t just sing country music—he’s lived it. Born, raised, and still working on a cattle station deep in the Queensland outback, his life has been built on dust, hard work, and long days in the saddle. A professional rodeo cowboy, he’s spent years on the circuit, chasing buckles, riding hard, and living the kind of stories most country singers only write about.
Music was always there—blaring through truck speakers, rattling off tin roofs, or belted out the back of a Gooseneck. But it wasn’t until 2017, when he moved to Mount Isa for a refrigeration job, that he decided to buy a guitar—just a $50 find off Marketplace. Teaching himself to play in his free time, he started sharing rough covers online. People told him he had a good voice, but rodeo always came first.
With winnings from a few hard-earned rodeo checks, he booked time at Simon Johnson’s Hillbilly Hut Studio and recorded his debut album, The Beginning. What started as a grassroots movement from an outback Australian rodeo cowboy had spread across borders, racking up over 50 million global streams, and sold out shows across United States and Australia - an unheard-of feat for an independent Australian country artist.
