A Global Journey: From Thai Beach Bars to Desert Weddings

Music has always been my passport. Before settling down to provide premium live music on the Sunshine Coast, my career as a live performer took me across three continents, adapting to every crowd and environment imaginable. I’ve spent seasons playing high-energy acoustic sets in the packed beach bars of Thailand, and soundtracked the apres-ski nightlife during busy winter snow seasons in New Zealand.

One of my absolute highlights was traveling to the heart of Australia, flying out to Uluru to perform for an unforgettable destination wedding right in the middle of the red desert.

Whether it is a barefoot tropical celebration, an intimate backcountry gathering, or a massive corporate function, traveling the world has taught me exactly how to read a room, connect with an audience, and bring the perfect energy to any event.

What My Clients Say

★★★★★

“We recently held our wedding at Port Melbourne Yacht Club and organised our music through Colin Dodds. From the very first enquiry to the last goodbye on the night Colin was so patient, prompt, very helpful and friendly to deal with. He ensured I didn’t have to worry about a single thing when it came to the music. I asked Colin to sing two songs that weren’t on his playlist and he was still able to sing them for me! From playing chill acoustic music at the start to finishing off with party dance songs that had everyone on the dance floor, my guests still rave about how much fun it was.”

“A BIG THANK YOU! The music mix was fantastic. I’ve handed out Colin’s details to about 10 couples who were here on the night, they ALL raved about him. My mum actually said to me earlier in the night ‘when are the boys going to start singing?’ and I said to her ‘they’re singing now mum.’ She thought I had Sting on the CD!!! Great compliment Colin and well deserved.”

— Mary & Paul (Ballarat Celebration)

★★★★★

“We just wanted to write and say a really big thank you for Sunday’s performance! We had an absolute ball and everyone has commented on how good you were. My only complaint is that I didn’t have you playing longer!! A lot of people were asking who you were so I’m sure they’ll be in touch in the future.”

— Nicole & Rohan (Mornington Peninsula Wedding)

★★★★★

“Colin was great to deal with, very easy going and relaxed but at the same time attentive when organising the night’s music. We were so happy with the music selection and quality! They played great acoustic chill out songs at the beginning and then rocking songs towards the end. Colin even cued the ‘walking down the aisle’ music for us through his PA system and his timing of the bride’s entrance was perfect.”

— Andrew & Angela (Mount Eliza Wedding)

★★★★★

“I wanted to leave a review and say thank you to you for a wonderful contribution to our wedding. You are very versatile and pleased all the guests with either your acoustic abilities or the rock and roll! Thanks for reading the crowd so well.”

— Jan (Yarra Valley Wedding)
