Bricky B (aka Brady Jones) is a Yorta Yorta man born and raised in Goulburn Valley, Shepparton. As an Indigenous hip-hop/spoken word artist, his art is a reflection of his reality. Bricky B has performed extensively hip hop spoken word artist. He has been writing lyrics and poetry since he was 17 years of age. Bricky B is my special guest to yarn about Share the Spirit festival that celebrates the survival of First Nations people in Australia held on January 26 – Survival Day

Share the Spirit is a community-based festival that celebrates the survival of First Nations people in Australia held on January 26 – Survival Day.

Created by Songlines Aboriginal Music in 2003, and growing stronger and stronger every year, Share the Spirit is an important cultural gathering for local and regional communities. It presents a reminder to all Australians that, despite the many great accomplishments Australia has achieved as a nation, Nationhood has come at a cost to the country’s First Nations people. The festival is a diverse showcase of First Nations music, art, craft and culture, and 2022’s stellar line-up is not to be missed. Christine Anu, Dan Sultan, Uncle Kutcha Edwards, Bumpy Hip Hop Showcase featuring: Philly, Bricky B, Miss Hood and Soju Gang.

We are also excited to welcome back our market stalls after a year without them because of the pandemic.

Share the Spirit is a free, non-ticketed event that is drug and alcohol free. As with every Songlines event, we invite all to attend and offer a safe space for everyone. We look forward to Sharing the Spirit with you all! Event partners include Arts Centre Melbourne and City of Melbourne.

For a long time, it was just lyrics and poetry on pages until Bricky B started incorporating his voice and instrumentals then his lyrics turned into story’s…It became a form of self-expression. From 2015 he started performing live sets in parts of county Victoria recently Bricky B has been branching out and performing in Melbourne.
