Sydney’s own Chelsea Wheatley, better known as Chela, is made for alt-pop stardom. First swaggering onto the international stage with early earworms “Romanticise” and “Zero” on tastemaking French label Kitsuné, the multi-hyphenate artist and musician immediately owned her catchy electro-pop sound. 

After taking some time off from her solo project to pursue her own clothing line and styling career, Chela returned in 2023 with the spiky, tongue-in-cheek “Cool 2B Queer”, timed perfectly for Australia’s Pride Season. Soon after, she levelled up again with “Hard 4 You”, an instantly irresistible queer love anthem pairing sharp song writing with 80s-drenched synth strut. Next up: a full-length album that cements the Chela aura.
