About DEM MOB
Hailing from the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjantjara (APY) Lands, DEM MOB are carving a new path in hip hop, strengthening culture through song and stories. The first rappers to perform and record in both Pitjantjatjara and English, DEM MOB have already graced the stages of NSS WOMADelaide, Wide Open Space Festival and supported artists such as BAARKA, J-Milla and Electric Fields. With family roots tying back to Coloured Stone, No Fixed Address and Yothu Yindi, it’s no surprise they are making waves in the industry.
“Music is the last link we have to our culture. Everything in our world has a dreamtime story, a song to teach the procedures. If we lose our dreamtime stories we will lose our culture. Language is changing because of western influence but our song lines are still strong. Music is literally the only reason our culture still exists,the one thing that white people can’t take away from us. Music is everything to us. This is why we do what we do.” – Elisha Umuhuri 2022

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
