You don't get much more real than this you Kamileroi hip hop artist from the Walli Aboriginal Reserve in Collarenebri NSW - a remote Indigenous community on the banks of the Barwon River in Northwest NSW. Boomalli’s musical journey began when he was just 15yrs old - as frontman for the notorious ‘Colly Crew’, an outfit of diminutive, but razor-sharp rappers that evolved from a series of collaborative storytelling projects with charity organisation, Desert Pea Media - at Collarenebri High School.  Over a decade, the Colli Crew created a range of music and film productions that took them to performances including the ARIA Awards (2011) in front of 10,000 people at the Sydney Opera House and the Indigenous All-Stars NRL Game (Gold Coast, QLD 2013).  The Colli Crew’s work is still featured in the National High School Curriculum around the country.  Boomalli has consequently developed a huge following amongst Indigenous young people in NSW and around Australia. Sadly, in 2012, Boomalli's mother was at the end of her life’s journey, in Collareneri hospital.  That night Boomalli made a promise to her that he would continue with his musical journey, and to represent his people, no matter what. This album is his word. Michael has been mentored and supported via a strong bond with DPM creatives, Toby Finlayson (DPM founder) and Josh Nicholas (music producer aka ‘Hazy’).  In 2015 Boomalli released a 6 track EP ‘Boomalli Self Titled’. Mick’s journey has been hard.  After the loss of his mother in 2012, Mick was diagnosed with severe epilepsy, and his illness has formed a backdrop to the artistry of the album, and he continues to struggle with the realities of his condition. In 2019, Mick’s father also passed away in tragic circumstances. Produced by Josh Nicholas aka ‘Hazy’ with an audio engineer team of some of Australia’s finest (David Nicholas and Micth Kenny) – this album features Indigenous hip hop artists Deekay (Native Rhyme Syndicate) DCP (Indigenous Intruders), Declan Francis (Central Arrandta writer/ hip-hop artist) and Toby Finlayson (DPM Founder and Creative Director). Get behind this young brother.
