The Sydney producer’s first release under Warner Music Australia and Warner Records US puts vocals, not just production, front and center.
Yes Boone has opened his Warner Music Australia and Warner Records US deal with “Nosebleeds,” a stadium-sized single that pushes the Sydney producer out front as a vocalist as well as a producer.
The release marks his first music since the partnership was announced to industry guests last month at Warner Music Australia’s annual Listen Up Showcase, where Boone also played a surprise DJ set and previewed the track. For Warner, it is a clean launch point for an artist it is positioning across both the Australian and international sides of the business.
A first release built for scale
“Nosebleeds” leans into French house while pulling in a darker, more introspective edge. Boone cites The Cure and The Smiths as part of the track’s emotional frame. He also takes center stage vocally, a shift he says took time to get right.
“Nosebleeds is about the infatuation you feel early on in a relationship, and all the dramatic uncertainty that comes with it,” Boone said. “There’s something theatrical about it that I’m trying to capture with the music. I wrote it during a period in London and Paris, which feels like the respective homes of the vocal style and the production choices. It took a little while to find my voice, to sing on my own tracks, and to put my own words to the music for the first time.”
That matters here. Boone is not being introduced as a new face. He is being repositioned. The record is designed to show range: producer instincts, frontman presence, and a sound that can travel beyond the club circuit.
Warner backs a producer with momentum
Boone said the new music represents “a new and bold step” and credited the Warner teams for understanding what he is trying to build. Dan Rosen, president of Warner Music Australasia and Southeast Asia, called him “a brilliant artist and producer at the vanguard of Australia’s electronic music scene” and said the company is looking to launch the next phase of his career and global trajectory.
The label push comes after a run that has already given Boone some commercial proof points. He has streamed more than 11 million times, earned support from triple j and BBC Radio, and landed Top 10 radio airplay with “All I Really Want,” his breakout track. He has also shared stages with Diplo, Dom Dolla and Martin Garrix.
From SoundCloud to a wider platform
Boone’s path has been built in public, but gradually. He first gravitated toward the sounds of Avicii and Skrillex, spent a year creating in solitude, then started releasing music on SoundCloud and making DJ mixes. A DJ mix competition win in his final year of high school put him on the local map. After that, joining a band gave him a closer look at what it takes to move from promising producer to working artist.
His 2025 debut EP, Best I’ve Found, pushed that profile further. Now Warner is giving him a bigger platform at a moment when he is trying to widen the lane between electronic producer and lead artist.
Boone is set to keep that momentum going with Australian festival dates on the 2026 Spilt Milk line-up and a performance at Wollongong’s Yours and Owls Festival. For Warner, “Nosebleeds” is the first test of how far that new positioning can travel.
