22 year old Gomeroi man. Ipswich born ‘n raised.

Mum used to sing around the house, I liked that. We were pretty poor. Whenever our power cut mum used to say it was a black out. Lol.

I was always writing poems, usually for girls I liked. Found a flow that way pretty fast I reckon.. Makin’ them feel good made me feel better. Nothings really changed in the way I approach music.

Rap raised me, most my words have been written in that vein. At the moment I’m enjoying putting my words through an early 2000’s indie rock lense. Challenging me to find melody alongside me rhythm. 

I never wanna be put in a box. Music is music. End of the day it’s all just bla bla in the bla.
