Dozzi are an Australian three piece vocal group from Brisbane, Queensland whose style is based in country music but successfully blends into other genres. The band is composed of sisters Andrea, Jesse, and Nina Dozzi, who write and perform primarily original material.

History
Dozzi formed in 2006 when youngest sister Nina began singing and playing piano with Andrea and Jesse's already established duo. They began gigging and recorded a handful of songs which were available to over 3,000 MySpace friends. The start of 2011 saw the band move more towards FaceBook, Twitter, and YouTube, with regular updates on each site up to the present day. In early 2012 they started their ReverbNation account where their fans can watch their videos read their bios and ask questions of the band.

Success in 2012
2012 started with Dozzi singing an a cappella version of the Australian National Anthem at the Brisbane International Tennis Tournament, televised on Channel 7 in Australia and transmitted around the world. Their first single "The Way It Goes" was released soon after on iTunes early in February, with the video being shot and released on YouTube later that month.

With the release of their debut single, the band received air play and interviews on stations around Australia and the globe.Nova FM, 98.9 The Best Country, TRAX FM 105.1, and Europes #1 Country radio station CMR Nashville among others.

June 2012 saw "The Way It Goes" added to the Country Music Channel's Song Request list, and due to heavy request traffic from Dozzi fans around Australia has been frequently featured on CMC's Australian Only show.
