Amber Scates (Skates), as seen on The Voice Australia 2025 Contestant with pink hair, singing groove is in the heart

Amber Scates is one of Australia’s most captivating emerging voices — a genre-blurring artist, performer, and speaker with a decade-long career that’s as dynamic as it is undefinable. Currently appearing as a contestant on The Voice Australia 2025 on Channel 7, known for her iconic and colourful performance of “Groove is in the Heart”, she is here to see how far she can go with her message of following love and being yourself, she chose Kate Miller-Heidke to be her coach. Amber continues to push boundaries as the self-styled “Alien Angel” (who does also skate) — fusing raw emotional power with high-concept theatricality, and drawing influence from drag, burlesque, pop, rock, and performance art.

Based in Naarm/Melbourne, Amber’s work spans live touring, music releases, creative mentorship, and onscreen charisma. Her latest single Out of Touch is a hypnotic, heart-led anthem that cements her as a true storyteller — bold, unfiltered, and magnetic. After touring around Australia with a variety of cabaret shows, she self-produced her latest rock-cabaret Realtime Revelations — an ever-evolving live experience filled with music, meta-performance, and emotional realness — set to tour nationally in 2026.

With over 10 years of creative work behind her and a loyal, growing audience drawn to her truth-telling and theatricality, Amber is not just building a career — she’s building a movement. Whether on national television, in a live show, or coaching artists behind the scenes, she moves with one clear mission: to help people feel more like themselves — wildly, unapologetically, and genuinely.
