I grew up in centeral west NSW in Orange (Wiradjuri country), I am a descendant of the Ngemba tribe of Brewarrina which is in the north west NSW.My appreciation of my aboriginal culture began from an early age through art, music and later through the playing and crafting of didgeridoos.My didge playing style is modern and contemporary with traditional influences. I recorded my first album Yidaki Vibes in 2004 and have just finished recording my second albulm Spirit Alive at the well known Cloud Studios.I began crafting didgeridoos 15 years ago and now my didgeridoos are highly sought after throughout the world. Some of the people who own them are Mark Atkins, Allan Dargan,Xavier Rudd and Gumaroy just to name a few.I am currently in the process of setting up my web site www.yidakivibes.com but if you are interested in buying one of my didgeridoos or a C.D you can email me at [email protected] or buy from my ebay store yidaki vibes didgeridoos. I also do custom orders and am 100% dedicated to finding the right didgeridoo for you. I also sell to laoutback.com and Planet Corroboree in Byron Bay. "Sticks with spirit, keep the spirit in the stick".Triple J presenter Nicole Foote has rated my music and put me on her feature page.
