Mr Auteri & Ms White have been sharing their dreamy pop songs and evocative harmonies with Melbourne since 2004. Named appropriately after a Simon & Garfunkle song, the Baby Drivers are steadily making their mark on the small bars and hidden laneways of the city.
The two met in 2000 whilst studying performing arts together. Rhys Auteri had been writing songs since he was very young, his stay-in-your-head melodies inspired by outfits like The Zombies, The Kinks and The Beatles. He has been performing around town as a solo artist since 2004.
Monica White was a relative newcomer to songwriting, but had a rich history of music in her Peruvian roots. Monica’s mother Charo White was a prominent bossa nova musician for many years, while her cousins also play around Melbourne as part of outfits Melodie del Rio and The Sound Particles. Monica’s poetic and playful lyrics, combined with her soulful voice are reminiscent of artists like Angie Hart and Sarah Blasko.
The pair soon discovered their shared passion for music, and the Baby Drivers were born. They are currently working on an EP to be made available at performances.
