How would you describe your journey in the music industry so far, and where do you want to go from here with your music? 

It’s been quite a ride! As a musician and as a human I’ve grown so much! I’d like to take over the mainstream market one day and hit the billboard charts with my music – travel around the world and play at those big festivals In Europe and America.

.

When did you know you wanted to make music, and perform as your career?

I’ve always know from when I first picked up the karaoke mic that I just couldn’t imagine doing anything else that made me happy. Music was my escape and my happiness.

.

Who have been your musical influences or artists you have admired growing up?

Oh definitely Corrine Bailey Rae, India Arie, bob Marley, 2 Pac, Billie holiday. My music ranges, but artists with stories to tell and share.

.

Are there any artists or musicians that you have been so impacted by that it changed your view on life or mentality toward music?

Oh definitely Nai Palm from a musical perspective the way she creates her music and her lyricism has made me think of a broader perspective. To include genres and mix it up a bit.

.

How would you describe your sound, and why is it unique from other artist’s sound?

I sing in Anindilyakwa, the language of my people, I would describe my sound as a folky rootsy sound. I’m a very nature inspired person.

.

What can fans expect as far as upcoming tours, or music after SUNSET SERIES in Feb

I’ll be playing some new songs and songs off my upcoming album! I’m so stoked to be sharing new music!

What are your goals for 2018 with your music career?  

This year I want to collaborate with artists from all back grounds and expand my music into different genres and be able to incorporate my language and stories. I love travelling! So this year I’m doing some overseas shows which I’m really stoked about.

Also, to be more involved with helping young singer/songwriters and empowering the youth to follow their dreams.

.

If you weren’t working in the music industry, what else do you think you would be doing with your life right now?

My second love is Chemistry! Of all things I would have been a chemistry teacher I can still remember the periodic table of elements.

.

What’s one song fans might be surprised you really like? 

Ummmm… December by Hawthorne heights! I love their music.

.

Do you have one performance that stands out so far as being your favourite, or most memorable?

My most memorable performance was when I was at bluesfest and the whole crowd sang along to black smoke I just sat back played the guitar and watched all these people from different races and backgrounds and religions come together and unite their voices to my song. I cried. It was a special moment.

.

Lastly, just for fun – If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

OMG this is soooo hard! Wow I would probably choose bully beef and rice hahah
