Portair Shares New Single “Hellbent” And Joins Begonia On Tour

Australian-born and Los Angeles-based artist Portair has announced that he will be joining pop singer-songwriter Begonia on several east coast dates later this month. This exciting news comes in addition to the run Portair is currently on supporting City Of The Sun.

To celebrate his upcoming shows and tours, Portair will be releasing a new single called “Hellbent.” The anthemic new song is all about pushing forward even when times are tough. “Despite the onslaught of obstacles life throws at you, it’s about being hellbent on moving on,” he explained.

Portair’s recent EP, Learning How To Die, features buzzy New York artist Vérité, Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling songwriter, artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist WYNNE, and Los Angeles singer-songwriter Emily James. The EP was written and recorded in the desert, where the landscape played a role in shaping the record that tackles some of life’s biggest questions.

Earlier this year, Portair released his EP, The Light That Breaks, which followed his 2021 debut EP, The Light That Gives. His viral single “Gloaming Hour” has garnered over 5 million plays on TikTok.

As a songwriter and a producer, Portair’s songs and scores have been featured on networks such as Netflix, NBC, MTV, and CBS. He has also spent the last year touring with artists like SYML and Liz Longley, as well as doing his own run in the U.S. and UK/EU of Sofar shows.
