What have you been nominated for, and if you won, how would it help your career?
Best independent hip hop album and best breakthrough independent artist. Acknowledgement for the hard work put in by my team and myself is what winning awards are about, and to show my mother that I wasn’t wasting time and to show my dad that those guitar lessons paid off, kind of. And I guess a couple of these notches in my generous belt would sound great for my next function small talk.
Who are some of the other shortlisted artists you’re a little intimidated to go up against in the lead up to the Carlton Dry Independent Music Awards?
None. I’m only scared of missing out.
What elements of your sound make you stand out?
A brash and honest look into the world of an indigenous man from a rural city, Shepparton, Victoria. Actual rap music and an aloof attitude for authority.
Why is it important for people to continue to support and encourage independent artists in 2015?
Natural home grown talent is where the best and more interesting stories are grown. Nurture that and you will find the endearing stories and artists that truly represent themselves and their fans.
