What a day at Brisbane Festival 🖤💛❤️

Still buzzing from today.

Thank you to everyone who came and sat with us on that amazing stage - the sound, the light, the whole festival green was just magic. To play in the heart of Brisbane Festival like that is something special.

The soulful didge joining the music today... man, that was spirit. You could feel it move through the crowd. So humbling to see it so well received, so many beautiful faces singing and swaying with us. Thank you for holding space with me.

Biggest thank you to the sound engineers and stage managers - you mob made it seamless. You made us sound deadly out there and looked after us from load-in to last note. Respect.

Thank you Brisbane Festival for having us. Thank you to all the amazing people who came up after for a yarn. My heart is full.

More music soon.

Happy Father's Day to the beautiful guides who shaped who I am. My great-grandfather on my mother's side, my grandfathers on both my parents' sides, and my beautiful father, who passed away in 2012.

I remember heading to a gig one year, feeling really dejected — about who I was as a musician, as an artist, as a community member, as a person, and about the direction I was heading in. I got to the venue and the stage manager asked if I was famous, because he'd heard of me before. I laughed and said, "I don't think so, but thank you!" Then I went out and played an amazing set. People rushed the stage afterward to thank me, and even the elders were impressed 🖤⭐❤️✊🏽

Still, I couldn't shake that dejected feeling. My friend and I got in the car and headed off to Melany festival to catch some more music 🎵🎶🪕🎸 On the way, my friend put on a CD. A song came on I'd never heard before — "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd. Sitting there in the car, all I heard was *shine on you crazy darling*... the way my dad used to say "darling." A euphoric wave came over me, like he'd come back from the Dreaming, and this love just washed through me.

I realised I was a psychedelic rocker because he was one. Because his father was one before him, and his father before that. What I was doing wasn't just something I wanted to do — it was passed down in the spirit. That moment in the car, in the lightning, confirmed I was exactly where I was meant to be.

Without these beautiful men in my life, I wouldn't be the man I am today. Happy Father's Day to all the men — and the women who carry the weight of the world — who pass the dreams on to their children.

🎨🎶🎬 Following the Dreaming
Lately, I’ve been spending more time focusing on the real world and doing what I love most: creating art, making music, and acting.
I’ve been putting a lot of energy into my creativity and following the direction that feels right for me. And I’ve got some really exciting news… I’ve landed a lead role in a film! 🎬🔥
I’m incredibly excited to be part of this project and I can’t wait to share more with you all. I’ll have to keep the details under wraps until filming is finished and the film is ready to come out, but believe me, I’ll be very excited to share the good news when the time comes!
I also want to say that I miss all my supporters. ❤️ Your support has always meant so much to me. Every person who listens to my music, looks at my artwork, comes to my gigs, follows my journey or simply takes the time to say hello is part of this journey with me.
For me, following our Dreaming is one of the most important directions we can take in life. Keep creating. Keep learning. Keep moving toward what gives your life meaning.
Sometimes you just have to follow that feeling inside you and see where it takes you.
Art. Music. Culture. Film. Life.
This is what I’m focusing on. 🌏🎨🎶🎬
Much love to everyone who has supported me along the way. I haven’t forgotten you. ❤️
Always was. Always will be. ✊🏾🖤❤️💛
