Rebellion. Resilience. Rock'n'roll.

Rock'n'roll with heart, grit and hope.

Sanny Veloo makes guitar-driven rock'n'roll that is fearless, heartfelt and built for connection.

Born in Singapore and now based in Melbourne, his story is one of rebellion, resilience and rebirth, with songs that turn loss, friendship, hope and second chances into big choruses, loud guitars and emotionally charged live performances.

Triple J has described his sound as “Sam Fender meets Beddy Rays” and praised it as “glorious power pop.” His songwriting has also earned international recognition, with three songs reaching the semi-finals of the International Songwriting Competition in Nashville.

Veloo first broke out fronting a punk band in Singapore that was banned for being too outspoken. After moving to Australia, he channelled that same fire into EMPRA, a hard-working rock band that collaborated with Gotye, toured extensively and shared stages with artists including British India.

When his father fell ill, Sanny stepped away from music to care for him. After his passing, a vivid dream of his dad proudly telling friends about his music reignited his purpose and eventually brought him back to the stage.

That return became his debut solo album, I've Got You My Friend, an energetic and deeply personal collection of songs about mateship, grief, resilience and hope.

Since returning, Veloo has built a loyal grassroots following through community radio support across Australia, high-energy live shows and touring along the east coast. In 2026, he performed at Bluesfest and St Kilda Festival while continuing to grow his headline audience in both Australia and Singapore.

Known for his passionate live shows, Sanny turns every gig into a celebration where friendship, emotion, singalong choruses and raw guitar energy collide.

With I've Got You My Friend now out in the world, Veloo is already deep into recording its follow-up. The new material pushes further into the heavier, louder and more ambitious side of his sound, combining anthemic alternative rock, melodic power pop and expressive guitar playing while keeping emotional honesty at the centre of his songwriting.
