Dozzi is an Australian trio of singers and songwriters, founded by sisters, Andrea, Jesse, and Nina Dozzi. Vocalist duties are shared by each of the sisters. Andrea plays mandolin, Jesse guitar, and Nina on keys.[1]
Andrea, Jesse, and Nina Dozzi grew up in a musical home in Brisbane, Australia. Their parents, Mark and Sharon Dozzi, met while playing music and formed the band Small Torque in the 1980s.[2] Both parents were full time musicians. The girls sang along with Sharon and helped her learn cover songs by recording the music and writing down the lyrics. Mark is a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. They wrote songs during the day and performed at night. The girls, along with three other siblings, Caleb, Jordan, and Georgia, spent much of their childhood backstage. The girls all play guitar and keys because the instruments were available to them at home.[3][4][5]
