DOBBY

The Australian Children's Music Foundation (ACMF) has been using music to make a difference for over 25 years, and their latest venture sees Kobie Dee and Dobby taking their talents into a program at the Cobham Youth Justice Centre, sharing ways to tell stories and make connections.

Nicknamed DOBBY by a taekwondo champion gone too soon, Rhyan Clapham unleashes 'Marshmallow', his deeply personal “time travel story” in album form, which finds the 'drapper' redressing a regret from 2009 that still keeps him up at night.

Industry patrons supporting the initiative include Sia and Troye Sivan, and they’re not the only heavy hitters showing support for the NUMAs.

Successful applicants will get to collaborate with BADASSMUTHA, DOBBY, Velvet Trip’s Zeppelin Hamiton, and more.

After a successful series in 2024, the program is back for another year, ready to celebrate First Nations families through conversation, storytelling and live performance.

“Learn your past, at least that’s the truth, cause all of these rivers they lead back to you.”

The latest update to Purple Sneakers’ ‘Best New Music’ playlist also features fresh tunes from June Jones, Porter Robinson, Petit Biscuit and Phi11a – to name just a few.

“To be at the Amphitheater with community, celebrating together in person will be something I will remember for a very long time."

"A powerful, vibrant music video that screams of urgency."

With a heap of huge shows coming up, the stage is set for a massive 2018..
