‘Favourite Kid’ are a dynamic sibling trio who have bounced onto Queensland’s indie-folk, alt-country and pop music scene. It all started over five years ago when older brother and 2024 Queensland Music Award winner, Ethan, 26, started writing and recording his own songs and embarked on a solo musical journey under the moniker ‘Aspy Jones’. After 16 song releases and over 350,000 streams, he persuaded his talented younger sister, Jaimie, 23, and brother Saul, 21, to join him on this musical adventure. He recognised the magic that could be created with a family collaboration each adding their unique flair mixed with sibling harmonies, vibrant and lively storytelling and a delightful mix of funny banter and sibling rivalry to their live shows. ‘Favourite Kid’ are heavily influenced by Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and George Ezra and they have been working on their debut album which is due to be released in 2024.
‘Favourite Kid’ have already graced the renowned stages at many festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, Mitchell Creek, Rock and Blues Fest, Undercover Artist Festival and the Gympie Music Muster. Their exceptional talent earned them a Limelight Award when they played at the Caloundra Music Festival. ‘Favourite Kid’ have been lucky enough to support the legends that are ‘The Fabulous Caprettos’ featuring Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris, Rai Thistlethwaite and Jack Jones. Songwriter, Ethan was also the first to win the Q Music Dalwood-Wylie Award at the Queensland Music Awards in 2024.
‘Favourite Kid’ originates from the musically rich country of Wales, known as 'The Land of Song ', where they were born in Wrexham. Their musical journey continued when their parents moved to Australia, and they were raised in Gympie in regional Queensland. Here, they collectively embarked on their musical odyssey through enrolment in the 'Rockskool' at the Australian Institute of Country Music. Throughout their teenage years, their musical inclination led them to perform in separate bands due to disagreements, reminiscent of the tempestuous dynamics of bands like 'Oasis'. However, with maturity, they've harmonized their collaboration, setting aside disputes, although the timeless sibling question still remains: 'Who is the Favourite Kid?'
