This time around, Complex AU joined forces to pick the coveted Wildcard spot \u2014 opening the floor to hundreds of entries from across the country, narrowing it to four finalists, and putting the decision in the public\u2019s hands. The majority vote crowned Sydney-based artist Ash Swaze as the 2025 Acclaim All-Stars Wildcard, earning him a place alongside the seven finalists flown into Melbourne for interviews, photoshoots, and the All-Stars Cypher.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Photography by Panashe Nathan<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For Swaze, born Ashley Mdlongwa in South Africa, the moment marked more than just a co-sign.

At 13, he landed in Sydney straight into his first day of high school. \u201cPicture this. It\u2019s my first time in a foreign country, fresh off the plane, jet lag hitting hard, and the very next day I\u2019m starting school. No sightseeing, no warm-up.. Diabolical,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Music was in his system from a young age. He remembers penning early attempts at songs in primary school, one of which his dad pointed out was basically just B.o.B\u2019s \u2018Magic\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Within weeks of arriving in Australia, he picked up the drums, joined a band, and began playing shows. By high school, he was opening for Lime Cordiale. When the group split, going solo felt natural. In 2019, he dropped his first tape <em>Promise It Will Get Better<\/em>. Looking back now, he says he\u2019s lived up to the name.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Ash Swaze in green athletic wear and white sneakers sitting on a chair, with braided hair and jewellery, posing confidently.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1439\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/AZCNIijJ69GHqZ2L_lpJmg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTE0Mzk7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/complex_131\/d256c7ffa8376dc2b4067b6c02c6a373\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Photography by Panashe Nathan<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">Building community, earning belief<\/h4>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The first believers were close: his mates Matt and Clint, his old band crew.
