Dingo Spender is a two-time ARIA-nominated songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer based on the Mornington Peninsula, Victioria.

As one half of Mama Kin Spender - alongside Danielle Caruana- he has spent over two decades building a body of work that spans albums, stages, film scores and community.

Mama Kin Spender's ARIA-nominated debut Golden Magnetic and their 2025 sophomore album Promises have taken them from sold-out theatre premieres at Perth Festival to WOMADelaide and stages across Australia, North America and Ireland.

Their community singing project, Choir Camp, has grown into a movement of its own.

Before MKS, Dingo co-founded Triple J favourites Offcutts and played in The Sneaker Trio and Custom Kings, building over two decades of touring and recording across a wide range of styles, Beyond the duo, Dingo composes for film and theatre - including the feature documentary Westwind: Djalu's Legacy and The Returned - produces and mentors emerging artists, and leads The Wild Man Choir - a men's singing community built around breathwork, circle and the radical act of raising your voice alongside other men.
