THE BOY OF MANY COLORS is a multidisciplinary creator. Filmmaker, music producer, dancer, artist, performer and rapper are just some of his roles. He is a proud cassowary man of the Yidinji - Bar Burrum & Mamu tribes of tropical Far North QLD. Alongside a clan of First Nation warriors from many lands, he brings the stories of the distant past into the here and now. Higher conscious hip-hop with a deep bass line backbone, his live performance consists of music, song, dance and culture. With his clan of warriors from many First Nations, the Babilali Dancers, together they express their stories through dance, both traditional and contemporary, dancing to the rhythm with a deep bass backbone.
MANDAWUY: Gumbaynggirr and Barkindji singer, songwriter and musician based in Coffs Harbour (Gumbaynggirr). I have been performing for more than 10 years in various bands and now find empowerment in writing and performing my own music influenced by my heritage, language, and beautiful homeland. My most memorable performances are Giiyong Festival (2025), All One Under The Sun Festival (2025), Tanamon Festival (2023) and opening for Jumbaal Dreamin' (2023).
