SXSW: Watch Remi Explore Downtown Austin Ahead Of Showcase

Carlton Dry Global Music Grant and Australian Music Prize winner Remi has spent the past 48 hours living it up in downtown Austin, scoping out his Texan surrounds in the lead-up to this year's South By Southwest conference and showcase.

Leaving his Breaking Bad-esque hotel to traverse the confines of the city's famed 6th Street, the emerging Aussie rapper gets an early taste of Texan life as he gathers his bearings, as well as taking a look behind closed doors by way of a jaw-dropping home studio, to which Remi was whisked mere hours after touching down in Austin. Life is hectic when you're an award-winning, worldly musician.

Watch his video diary of the whirlwind first two days below.

We'll keep you posted on Remi's Texan adventures in consequent instalments as he navigates the glorious, sprawling, pseudo-organised chaos of arguably the world's most famous industry event.
