About

Forever community-focused and proudly outspoken, Nooky is one of the most vital voices in the Australian music landscape. The proud Yuin rapper, producer, and radio host has been championing Blak excellence for well over a decade. Working with acclaimed producers i.am.solo and Mansus, Nooky's music combines intricate flows, sledgehammer social commentary, and loads of South Coast slang. In 2021, Nooky began his first tenure as a radio host on 'Blak Out', a new weekly radio program broadcast nationally on triple j. Nooky has worked internationally, traveling to the United States where he collaborated with Taboo of Black Eyed Peas, and interned at Harvard University to work on a Broadway production. He is also a member of Muggera Cultural Enterprise, a family group that shares Indigenous culture through traditional dance, song and art; performing on global stages including the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the Rugby World Cup. Back home, Nooky won the Australia Council's prestigious Dreaming Award at the National Indigenous Arts Awards in 2016, and that same year, he signed to the Bad Apples imprint. On January 26th, Nooky launch a new, all-encompassing platform called 'We Are Warriors' - an initiative highlighting prolific Indigenous excellence across music, fashion, sports and more.
