Sheppard is a Brisbane-based indie-pop band. Originally formed in 2009 as a duo consisting of siblings Amy and George Sheppard, they expanded by adding Jay Bovino in April 2011 before reaching their current six-member state, including the third Sheppard sibling Emma. They have released two singles to date and one extended play under their own label entitled Empire of Song. Their second single "Geronimo" spent three weeks at number one, knocking Pharrell Williams' single "Happy" from the top spot after its 12-week run. "Geronimo" was accredited platinum by ARIA in April 2014. "Geronimo" is the first #1 single to be recorded in Brisbane.

In March 2014, Sheppard became the first Australian band to sign a contract with Decca Records; within Australia, however, the band's material will continue to be released under Empire of Song/Chugg Music.
