Dave Ruby Howe

A trusted triple j voice behind the Hottest 100 Tally Room but Dave’s main focus is the Australian music landscape as music director of triple j Unearthed. For a decade Dave has been front and centre as emerging Australian artists begin their careers in the music industry; he’s had his headphones on to hear the first tracks from artists like The Kid LAROI, Mallrat, Gang Of Youths and more. As well as being part of the Unearthed team that finds pathways for local artists to triple j and festivals, Dave’s responsible for leading the music curation of the Unearthed site and the dedicated digital radio station that plays all unsigned and independent Australian music 24/7.
