Things have completely taken off for Kian since winning triple j’s Unearthed High competition in 2018. Extraordinarily, he achieved that feat with the first song he ever wrote Waiting. In the time since Unearthed High, Kian has travelled the world, participated in the prestigious Bali Songwriting Invitational, performed at the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival and The Great Escape Festival in Europe, before he plays Splendour in the Grass and shows in support of pop influencer Conan Gray.

Mature beyond his 16 years, Kian grew up in a creative community in the Victorian goldfields town of Castlemaine. His father runs hip-hop dance workshops in remote Indigenous communities, while his mum played in bands in her youth. “I was around a lot of creative people and I learnt a lot about expressing myself without being judged by anybody.”
