I have Aboriginal roots on my father's side, and have always indentified with that spirit. I feel a lot of my music comes from that place.

I feel my live shows are my music; everything blossoms from the live shows.

When people connect to my work, it makes me feel great. A lot of that stuff is really deep, and when I play something and people feel what I feel, and use it in important situations in their lives, like at weddings or funerals, that's so powerful. It means I can connect with them on an important level.

Yidaki didgeridoo has been used in every part of Australian regional culture, all around the country. It's become a message stick for the survival of those people, for aboriginal people and aboriginal culture.

And my music is always such a release of what I feel inside, an impulse.

I feel I will always have that spirit bear with me, so I will always feel protected.
