about the band

Since their formation, Perth, Australia’s Voyager have fearlessly defied any genre norms, boundaries and regulations thrust upon them. They embrace pop; employ a keytar on stage, and bring forward a positive, uplifting feeling to their riff-laden music, running head-first into the endless parade of heavy bands who see the world in a darker light.

The genre-transfiguring quintet blend new-romantic and 80’s infused vocals, keytar solos, technical yet melodic fretwork, groovy bass and bombastic drumming efforts. All of which make Voyager the progressive pop metal force that they are renowned as today. 

A story of passion, perseverance and patience, VOYAGER have been throwing their hat in the ring for the Eurovision Song Contest since Australia announced its participation in 2015. Eight years of fan support, song submissions and a public vote landslide later, VOYAGER have been awarded a hugely deserved opportunity to represent their country in 2023 at the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, UK. Their song ‘PROMISE’ is an epic progressive pop metal offering that transports the listener on an emotive story of adventure and redemption.

VOYAGER is:

Danny Estrin (Vocals, Keytar) - A keytar wielding, songwriting powerhouse who is a lawyer by day and a rockstar by night. Not only is Danny an award winning lawyer, but his multilingual abilities are an asset to Voyager’s live shows all around the world, allowing the band to connect on a deeper level with their international audience, mesmerised by his 80’s vocal timbre.

Simone Dow (Guitars) - A firecracker of a guitarist whose chronic pain condition only drives her further to succeed. An advocate of Migraine awareness, the 7 string guitarist shreds and brings an energy to the stage unmatched by anyone else in the scene.

Alex Canion (Bass) - The face of bass, and a killer vocalist to boot. Alex is a force of nature and connects with all of his peers on stage in a way that brings a dynamic that is hard to rival in any band. Providing epic moments in the songs alongside a rhythmic foundation, Alex’s personality brings an eccentric and expressive outpour to Voyager’s shows.

Scott Kay (Guitars) - Scott’s technical proficiency and energy perfectly compliment his sister in shred, syncopating their efforts on stage and providing a twin attack on guitars. Scott’s philosophical approach to music shines through in his performance, executing a deep and meaningful energy to every live show.

Ashley Doodkorte (Drums) - The most bombastic drummer you’ll ever see. Leading the charge with impact and momentum, Ash’s drumming is indefatigable, and not only is he a master of his craft, another craft topic he specialises is in beer.
