About Royel Otis

Royel Otis are an indie-pop duo from Sydney, made up of songwriters Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic. Their sound brims with shimmering guitars, nostalgic melodies and the kind of offbeat charm that feels effortlessly cool. Since forming, they’ve carved a place at the heart of modern indie — where sun-soaked pop hooks meet introspective lyrics and a knowing wink. Their partnership is built on a shared love of classic songwriting, with each track radiating the chemistry of two friends chasing melody and mood in equal measure.

Their debut album Sofa Kings (2023) announced them as one of Australia’s most exciting new exports, balancing dreamy melancholy with playful confidence. Singles such as “Motels”, “Kool Aid” and “Oysters In My Pocket” showcase their knack for crafting songs that feel instantly familiar yet refreshingly original. With a growing global following and an infectious live energy, Royel Otis continue to charm audiences across stages and playlists alike — a duo destined to make dancing and daydreaming feel like the same thing.
