Perhaps you’re about to meet someone significant in your life, who you’ve never met before? What will you tell them about yourself?

 This is “A Little Bit About Me”- a song written by Rachael Colmer, based on a letter she wrote to her birth mother when they were soon to meet for the first time, and played by BilyaBeats.

Blow it Up

Latest Single

BilyaBeats' song "Blow it Up" is about the destruction of the 46,000 year old sacred site and cave at Juukun Gorge by Rio Tinto in 2020. "Blow it Up" protests the ongoing systemic injustice that allows the WA government the last say in wether or not First Nations' cultural heritage sites can legally be destroyed, rather than traditional owners.
