About
| Reetoxa originally emerged as the brainchild of Melbourne’s own Jason McKee, a lifelong songwriter whose musical awakening took place as a teenager against the gritty backdrop of 1990s Frankston, although life quickly got in the way of his creative dreams. Years later, affected by the death of his mother during a prison stint, Jason once again found himself seeking catharsis, penning the song Bobbie in her honour, and committing himself to recording a debut album after his release. Claiming the moniker he'd acquired during his AA days, Jason set to work refining the signature Reetoxa sound, a distillation of influences from Pearl Jam and Radiohead to Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan and beyond with a nostalgic, distinctly Aussie twist and a penchant for unfiltered lyricism. | It wasn’t long before he’d joined forces with ARIA-nominated producer Simon Moro, Grammy-nominated engineer Joe Carra, and a legendary lineup made up of drummer Pete Marin, guitarist James Ryan, bassist Kit Riley and pianist Phil Turcio to bring his vision to life. A true labour of love, Reetoxa’s debut album Pines Salad — Frankston slang for a bag of weed — was released in March 2025, each track demonstrating Jason's unmistakable outsider charm and knack for immersive storytelling. With momentum now at an all-time high, Reetoxa is now preparing for a breakout year, with plans for more music and a first wave of live shows marinating in the background, much to the delight of its diverse and growing fanbase. |
