From Nowra to ARIAs: Music, Culture, and the Path to Blak Excellence Part 1

  • Summary

  • In this weeks deadly episode, I sit down with proud Yuin, Thunghutti man and acclaimed artist Nooky for what was an amazing conversation, held on the iHeart Podcast stage at SXSW Sydney.

    We yarn about his journey, from growing up in Nowra to making waves in the Australian music scene. Nooky shares personal stories of struggle, resilience, and triumph, discussing his upbringing, the influence of family and community, and how music became his path to empowerment.

    Together, we explore the connection between music and storytelling in creating hope and unity for a more inclusive Australia. Nooky reflects on his work with We Are Warriors, his music collaborations with artists like Jessica Mauboy and the Presets, and his groundbreaking achievements in the industry, including four ARIA nominations!!

    This episode is a celebration of strength, perseverance, and the enduring power of culture, showcasing Nooky’s inspiring journey and his mission to uplift the next generation. One of my favourite yarns so far! Do not miss this one! Part 2 drops next week.
