The Sound of Our Community - Exploring Local Music and Artists

Melbourne has always had music in its bones — from laneway buskers and late-night pub bands to boundary-pushing producers and genre-blending singer-songwriters. At OnAir 32, we’re not just fans of local music — we’re loud, proud supporters. Our station has become a home for emerging artists, a stage for underground sounds, and a space where local music isn’t just played — it’s celebrated.

Discovering the Talent Next Door

Every week, our shows spotlight musicians who are crafting their sound right here in Melbourne. Some are well on their way to national stages, others are recording in their bedrooms — but all of them have something unique to say. We dig deep to find fresh talent, from indie rock and neo-soul to First Nations hip-hop and experimental electronic. Whether it’s through interviews, exclusive live sessions, or dedicated music segments, OnAir 32 offers local artists a platform that feels personal — because it is.

More Than Airplay — Real Connection

What sets us apart isn’t just the music we play, but the relationships we build. Many of our hosts are musicians themselves or deeply embedded in the scene. That means our coverage goes beyond the surface — we talk about creative process, gigs, inspiration, struggles, and wins. We give local acts space to be real. And when they grow and go big? We’re still here, cheering them on — because once you’ve been part of the OnAir 32 family, you're always part of our story.

Be Part of the Movement

Supporting local music isn’t just about listening — it’s about showing up. Tune in to hear what’s new. Share a segment with a friend. Come along to one of our community gigs or showcase events. If you're a musician yourself, reach out — we’re always looking to collaborate, feature, and amplify. Because the sound of Melbourne isn’t just a vibe — it’s a movement. And at OnAir 32, we’re proud to be one of its loudest voices.
