Wade Forster doesn’t just sing country music—he’s lived it. Born, raised, and still working on a cattle station deep in the Queensland outback, his life has been built on dust, hard work, and long days in the saddle. A professional rodeo cowboy, he’s spent years on the circuit, chasing buckles, riding hard, and living the kind of stories most country singers only write about.
Music was always there—blaring through truck speakers, rattling off tin roofs, or belted out the back of a Gooseneck. But it wasn’t until 2017, when he moved to Mount Isa for a refrigeration job, that he decided to buy a guitar—just a $50 find off Marketplace. Teaching himself to play in his free time, he started sharing rough covers online. People told him he had a good voice, but rodeo always came first.
What started as a grassroots movement from an outback Australian rodeo cowboy has spread across borders, racking up over 50 million global streams—an unheard-of feat for an independent Australian country artist.
Through it all, Wade remains exactly who he’s always been—a rodeo cowboy first, a singer-songwriter second, and a man whose stories are best told in a saddle or a song.
His music isn’t just about country life. It is country life. The highs and the heartbreak, the dust and the dreams, the fights and the faith that keep a man going. And as long as there are steers to wrestle, highways to chase, and songs left to sing, he’ll keep telling his story—one verse at a time.
