Artist Biography

Confidence Man is the Brisbane‑born Australian electropop collective whose exuberant, razor‑sharp dance‑pop alchemy fuses pulsing house, disco‑inflected rhythms, and rave‑ready energy into a sound engineered to make bodies move and minds flare. Formed in 2016 with charismatic front‑line provocateurs Janet Planet and Sugar Bones backed by the enigmatic instrumentalists Reggie Goodchild and Clarence McGuffie, the band first detonated onto the global scene with their self‑produced debut Confident Music for Confident People — a satirical yet meticulously crafted set of dance anthems that married campy lyricism with layered synth basslines and tightly wound beats. Over successive albums like Tilt and the UK‑charting 3AM (La La La), Confidence Man expanded their technical palette, drawing on ’90s and early‑2000s rave textures, sharp vocal hooks, and dynamic production that channels confetti‑burst choruses and throbbing off‑beat grooves into live shows renowned for choreographed routines, theatrical flair, and immersive club‑meets‑performance art energy. Their work — equal parts dancefloor engineering and pop spectacle — has solidified them as architects of modern indie dance music that blurs the line between tongue‑in‑cheek performance and finely tuned electronic craft.
