Freyja Garbett Trio

As a session musician, collaborator, and musical director, Freyja has worked with a wide range of notable Australian and nternational artists, including Montaigne, Touch Sensitive, The Veronicas, Ian Moss, Casey Donovan, Stella Donnelly, Katie Noonan, Hermitude, Tom Thum, Urthboy, Jorge Drexler, and Alejandro Sanz, among many others. Freyja began playing violin and piano at a young age, later earning a scholarship to Berklee College of Music, where she graduated summa cum laude in Performance and Jazz Composition. She recently completed a Master of Music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, focusing on converting motion from surfing ocean waves into MIDI data and processing it through Ableton Live using analogue synthesizers and onboard VSTs. Freyja has composed, arranged, produced, edited, and performed music for video games, including the upcoming Sowden House, working with Brendan McNamara, known for his work on Grand Theft Auto, creator of L.A. Noire and the founder of Team Bondi and Video Games Deluxe, now Rockstar Australia. This album is due for release early 2026. She was also an artist-in-residence with the ABC in 2025, recording multiple solo works and curating and presenting her own music alongside selections from her favourite artists over the course of a month. Her third album, ‘Music from the Waves’, will also be released on the ABC Jazz label late this year.
