Don West

Back home in Australia, they call him a hunk. Don West is a successful model (193 centimetres tall, shoe size 47) who can be booked at IMG Models. But Don West is also an inspired singer-songwriter from Sydney who loves the vintage soul of Marvin Gaye, Al Green and Curtis Mayfield. He derives his clothing style from the film actors of Hollywood's golden days. In short, an old soul in a cathedral of a body. Though he also likes to point to contemporaries Jalen Ngonda and Thee Sacred Souls as musical examples. West has developed a soul variant all of his own. One for the beach. Where you can chill pleasantly with a good book. And where you can go out on the waves a few times in between when the wind is right. His debut album Give me all your love (2025) is as summery as Rock Werchter.
