WORKSHOPS

Oct 2006 – Conducted a Hip Hop workshop for primary school children from Papunya Community and Braitling School
Alice Springs

For the past two years during the school holidays myself and fellow MC / producer Dan The Underdog have conducted Hip Hop workshops out on several bush communities.
The communities surrounding Alice Springs include - Papunya, Ikuntyi, Kintore, Mt Liebig, Town Bore and M’Bangarah.
The youth holiday program has proven to be a huge success and continues to be funded by Northern Territory government.

CURRENT CD

B4 THA BEGINNING – is a mixture of raw Hip Hop and Soul. A handful of local artists feature on the album – Dan The Underdog, Mackie, TASK, Panda B, Casper, Big B, Kaydence, Moni (my daughter makes a cameo appearance on the cd’s interlude) and Mel.


My never ending journey began as a writer at 17 years of age where I realized my passion for Hip Hop . I found this type of music was and always will be a magical way of expressing myself through rhyme.

WHY?...
.
Because it challenges my inner strength, enhances my every day life and nurtures my soul. The essence in each script that I write will resonate within you because the truth is only spoken. Disillusion ain’t Reality…..and the fact is music be a way of life so why live in fantasy? I certainly don’t, as my music portrays the Good with the Bad and the Happy with the Sad, Balance is Vital….
