Roots

Widely acclaimed as one of the leading indigenous didgeridoo players of Australia, Jeremy's exceptional skill with the didgeridoo, and extensive knowledge of his cultural heritage has earned him the recognition of his peer's as a master storyteller and performer.

Over the last 10 years, he has been greatly influenced by his Grandfather and a number of Tribal elders from his communities and others across Australia. These influences have given him greater ambitions to show the true richness of his amazing heritage.

Jeremy's masterful didgeridoo playing and passion has seen him become one of Australia 's Premier Indigenous didgeridoo performers ad presenters.

Passion

Jeremy is an Amazing role model for both Indigenous and Non Indigenous youth of Australia. Despite Jeremy's promising performance and artistic career in 2008 Jeremy took on a full time role in Caboolture Queensland, working with young indigenous people working to inspire them to walk towards a brighter future. Throughout 2008 Jeremy travelled to several remote communities including his own, working and developing engagements strategies that would see the continuation of culture with the next generation. Working with both Urban and Remote Indigenous Youth, Jeremy encourages those to follow in his footsteps and learn their culture. His message is very blunt yet very powerful.

"Learn your culture be proud of where you come from, and never forget the struggle the generations before us have faced. Don't Blame others for your trouble or problems. You control your own Destiny."

"I make it my job to educate people from many nations around the world about the beauty of my traditional culture"

In 2009 Jeremy rebirthed his performing and arts career. Jeremy has once again become very focussed on the development of his music, art and sharing his intimate knowledge of Traditional Healing and Sacred Ceremony. Jeremy is determined to share with others the Sacredness of his Culture to help break away the walls of ignorance. While working with youth is no longer Jeremy's fulltime focus, Jeremy will still travel to remote communities working with youth development. Jeremy will also maintain a close working relationship with those youth living in the Urban areas who are battling with their Identity the same battle Jeremy once faced. Finally feeling settled now, Jeremy and Family have now based themselves out of Queenslands Sunshine Coast and are looking forward to an exciting 2010.
