BRIGGS established the label to genuinely nurture and support Blak Excellence, this will be your chance to celebrate with some of the label's roster at this exclusive event.
BARKAA
BARKAA is a Malyangapa, Barkindji woman from Western New South Wales, now living in South West Sydney on Gandangara land. Music to BARKAA has been part of her journey to express herself, the truth and issues impacting First Nations people.
2021 was a massive year for BARKAA as she launched herself onto the music scene. She was awarded the 2020 PUMA Rookie Of The Year Award for Acclaim Magazine and has been listed as one of the Top 5 female rappers in Australia by ABC’s Triple J, one of 15 Sydney rappers ruling 2020 by Redbull and featured in GQ Magazine, proving that BARKAA is on a fast and steady incline as a critical contributor to Australia’s musical landscape.
Kobie Dee
Kobie Dee is a 23-year-old Gomeroi artist from Maroubra in South Sydney, Bidjigal Land. With an innate gift for storytelling and connecting with young people, Kobie Dee is one of the exciting new voices in Australian hip hop.
As an artist, Kobie is deeply engaged in his community through performance and community work, and his passion for his culture and people is inspiring new generations.
"Kobie Dee's recent single 'Role Models' continues to see the Gamilaroi artist rap with transparency and unashamed honesty. The young artist's ability to connect on a personal level through his music has been impressing folk since 2018, but as he weaves lyrical magic around stories from not only his own experience, but that of his community's, Kobie Dee is truly shining out here in 2021." — Triple J
PHILLY
Philly -the MC from Mildura, was the winner of the 2015 National Indigenous Music Awards 'New Talent of the Year' category, he performed a breathtaking rendition of Bob Marley's Three Little Bird for triple j's Like a Version, and he released his first E.P -Dreamchaser. After some timeaway to breath and grow -he recently signed with Briggs’ new all Indigenous record label –Bad Apples Music. This young MC is determined to continue to use his voice to make change and inspire young peoplewith new music scheduled to drop mid 2019.
Chasing Ghosts
‘Homelands’ is the new EP from Aboriginal led punk rock band Chasing Ghosts. It was produced founder frontman and chief song-writer Jimmy Kyle and Lincoln Le Fevre (Luca Brasi, Wil Wagner, Lucy Wilson) “I was scared to write these songs, because a lot of the topics are challenging,” says Jimmy Kyle, a proud Goori man, of the Thungutti mob from the mid-north coast of NSW.
“But that’s how I knew I was onto something. It made me feel nervous.” “I know people are going to come after me with some of these songs,” he says. “But I know in my heart that telling these stories is right and telling them in the way I do is the right thing to do. I know my audience is predominantly non-Indigenous, so I have to engage them in a way that engages their heart. Because that way they’re not going to be judged, but they can put themselves in an empathetic position to go on the journey.
Lauren Sheree
Emerging from a grassroots background at Ukulele jams and open mic nights around the city, Naarm based Wakka Wakka singer songwriter Lauren Sheree has become an exciting new addition to the Melbourne music scene since moving from her hometown Ipswich to Melbourne in 2016.
Lauren is a multifaceted artist with many strings to her artistic bow including acting and modelling along with producing for the First Nations Theatre Company Ilbijerri Theatre Company. She originally took up songwriting to support her acting work and discovered a love of jamming on the Ukulele. Fast forward to current day and she finds herself selling out gigs and being included in some great live bills including gigs at Brunswick Music Festival 2021 and 2022, Live at the Bowl @ Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and Yirramboi Festival.
In April 2022 Lauren released her debut EP ‘Breathless’ via Bad Apples Distribution. Reflecting 24 years of Laurens lived experience the EP tackles themes of growing up, the love, heartbreak, trauma and experiences that make up every little part of who we are, using the ukulele and Laurens soulful voice paired with powerful lyrics to explore growth through the art of catharsis.
