Angus John Stone (born 27 April 1986 in Sydney) is an Australian musician, singer-songwriter and producer. He is one half of the sibling duo Angus & Julia Stone, with his sister Julia Stone. The duo released several albums and hits, including the popular song Big Jet Plane, and their 2010 album Down the Way topped the ARIA charts and helped them become famous in Australia.

Stone has also pursued solo work. He released Smoking Gun in 2009 under the name Lady of the Sunshine, and Broken Brights in 2012, which peaked at No. 2 in Australia. He has described his solo output as a chance to explore different styles and sounds from his work with Julia.

In 2016 he started recording as Dope Lemon. Dope Lemon released Honey Bones (2016), the Hounds Tooth EP (2017), the album Smooth Big Cat (2019), and the albums Rose Pink Cadillac (2022) and Kimosabé (2023), with a later album Miami Baby (2023). Kimosabé is his fourth Dope Lemon album, and it features his face on the cover for the first time, continuing a laid-back, coastal rock sound.

Stone has had an active live career, touring internationally as a solo artist. In 2023 he performed with Post Malone in Melbourne and later opened for Malone on his Australian tour. He grew up in a musical family—his parents were folk musicians—and plays several instruments, including guitar, mandolin, banjo and piano.
