Diefenbach

Jake Diefenbach has picked up a Green Room Award for Best Original Songs in Cabaret, Best Cabaret at Melbourne Fringe 08, and a Matilda Award nomination for his work in Lady of the House of Love with Sandro Collarelli. Diefenbach is known for his no-holds-barred brand of confessional storytelling, his imaginative piano accompaniment, and head-turning, androgynous vocal sound. Missing Person is a naked and compellingly fragile maturation of Jake’s song writing.

Diefenbach’s latest release is not just a discrete collection of songs; it’s a journey. Each song plays cleverly into the hands of the next to form a whole that is riddled with sublime contradictions. Missing Person is about the destruction and recovery of self.

Diefenbach has been described as a "pathological chronicler of the human condition" (Lily Braage, The Age), but reflects, "Maybe I'm not so much a pathological chronicler of the human condition as a pathological chronicler of my own?"
