Whilst the official NAIDOC Week dates may be changed to November 8-15 due to COVID-19, Adelaide Festival Centre is committed to continue championing the voices of our First Nations people. So to mark the week, we will be sharing performances from some of SAs most talented First Nations musicians in response to NAIDOC Week’s theme in 2020: ‘always was, always will be’.

J-MILLA is a unique up-and-coming rap artist as well as a loud and proud member of the Mak Mak Marranunggu people, the traditional landowners of the Litchfield National Park area of the Northern Territory.

His song ‘60K+’ refers to the 60,000 years of Aboriginal heritage and the chorus of the song ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’ relates directly to the NAIDOC Week Theme for 2020.

“I write all my own lyrics which are generally a reflection of my life experiences. It’s not my intention to isolate anyone in particular and I hope what I write can bring people together”.
