Gretta Ziller Unlikely Believer

The single is a heartfelt and ultimately optimistic look through the songwriter's eyes, written by Gretta Ziller, produced by Paul Ruske and engineered by Richard Stolz (Tones & I, Tash Saltana, Paul Kelly, Husky) and Richard Dodd (Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Larkin Poe, Keb' Mo').

Ziller says, "I wrote Unlikely Believer to remind myself that although I've been through a lot in life that it's harder but so much more rewarding to keep believing in things, rather than dwelling on the hurt and hardship."

The video for 'Unlikely Believer' was directed by Arlo Dean Cook and features Ziller's live band along with friend and keyboardist, Clint Wilson. It was filmed at the Westgarth Palais Cinemas in Northcote, VIC, and includes a selection of personal footage – in the form of Ziller's niece, baby nephew and father.

Natalie Waller, Head of ABC Music and Events, said today, "We are thrilled to have Gretta join the ABC Music roster.  We have been  impressed by Gretta's achievements over the last 3 years, she is such an accomplished singer and songwriter, and are excited to work with her to take her music to an even wider audience."

Ziller's roots span jazz, blues, rock, pop and classical, and that eclecticism is reflected in her songwriting. Her sound may bear the hallmarks of classic Americana music but its essence is far more diverse.

Ziller's 2017 debut album 'Queen of Boomtown' received critical acclaim, it was long-listed for the Australian Music Prize in 2018 and receiving a nomination in The Age Music Victoria Awards. Gretta was also an APRA PD finalist and performed at Australian Music Week, November 2019 she has also received 2 Golden Guitar nominations for her releases.
