Edit history

Growing up on an island population of 2,500 people, Sachém holds both ancestral ties to Noonuccal (Stradbroke Island) and African American with his family roots currently leading to Florida. His story, experience and approach to music are ones that the Australian community has not seen before, reflecting both front-line First Nation / African American perspectives within the Australian environment and a deep understanding of the hip-hop community and its culture. Networking and producing his own connections, Sachém has opened at the 2022 Queensland Music Awards, AFL Indigenous Round 2022, RPAC theatre and soon-to-be QPAC with his recent theatre show ‘The Bigger Picture’. He was also awarded the 2017 Oodgeroo Noonuccal Poetry Prize (Queensland Poetry Festival), the 2020 Brisbane City Council Best Original Song Award and was recently nominated for a 2022 QMA Award.
