Philly

Philly is a proud Wemba Wemba HipHop artist, he grew up in Mildura (Latji Latji country) off the banks of the Mighty Murray River.

“I feel like I’m obligated to use my music to make change for the better and to use my craft to teach. Through music I have always wanted to voice my opinion; wether it be about Black struggle or to bring positive messages for Indigenous youth, I understand that I have been given an opportunity to inform.”

Philly was the winner of the National Indigenous Music Awards ‘New Talent of the Year’ category in 2015, he performed a breathtaking rendition of Bob Marley’s Three Little Bird for triple j’s Like a Version, and released his first E.P – Dreamchaser the same year.

Philly was signed to Briggs’ all Indigenous record label – Bad Apples Music in 2016. After several years with the label Philly took some time away from music, but the MC is determined to continue to use his voice to make change and inspire young people.
