NEW – ISAIAH FIREBRACE WHEN: 3pm – 3.45pm, August 16 WHERE: Multicultural Plaza Music Stage (I-13)
The highest streamed First Nations pop artist in the world, Isaiah Firebrace (aka Isaiah) has an incredible story to tell. The Australian pop singer is a soulful baritone vocalist who transformed from a small-town Indigenous singer with big dreams, to one of Australia’s most successful artists. Along the way he’s won The X Factor 2016, was signed to Sony Music, represented Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 finishing 9th, and reached Double Platinum in Australia, Platinum in Norway and Sweden and Gold in Denmark with more than half a billion streams across his music. Isaiah not only works on his music nowadays but is passionate about bringing awareness to Indigenous issues around Australia such as implementing more education about First-Nation’s people and culture. In his first performance at Ekka, Isaiah will certainly make an impact fusing his pop stylings with soulful influences.
