For such an unassuming guy in jeans and chucks – what a voice! He inhabited the stage and the room, playing an engaging set with personal lyrics and a genuine demeanour. it was a really special performance.”

About

The Obsession began early for Sydney singer/songwriter Braden Evans,

Raiding his Dad’s record collection to make mix tapes of The Beatles, making up songs using two tape players to record a beat and playback while singing and recording into the other.

Learning to play guitar chords with 6 rubber bands strapped to the back of a ruler.

Until finally, receiving his first guitar at age 12.

 

Straight out of High School fronting a hard rock outfit named Rivers-end, the band was signed to a record label, received radio play on Triple M and Triple J, toured the East Coast of Australia Opening for bands like The Screaming Jets and Birds Of Tokyo.

 

In a bold move to further develop his song craft, Braden sold all his electric guitars and amps in exchange for an acoustic guitar and began work with a producer, creating stripped back, intimate songs with personal lyrics. 

This new direction led to shows at venues like the Enmore Theatre, the SCG & Accor Stadium alongside industry legends: Alex Lloyd, Billy Joel, Aerosmith and Van Halen.

 

Many of Braden’s songs have been used in episodes of “Home & Away” & “Neighbours”, as well as Netflix shows “Who Killed Sara?” “Stay Close” and “Revenged Love”.

 

In 2026 Braden has been focused on writing and recording raw and personal songs with a Country, Folk/Rock feel, inspired by Zach Bryan & Chris Stapleton.
