From the first listen, the first look, we were hooked. We made him our RUSSH Men cover star and he told us “I like the challenge of tackling a new topic, both as a [writer] and as a human with emotions. It makes me feel stronger to think about new ideas.”

Now, as this year’s Bigsound Festival – Australia’s answer to SXSW – rolls around, Didirri is returning the stage in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. Joining him will be the most exciting emerging acts of now – the lineup is huge – including RUSSH favourites Emerson Snowe, Gabriella Cohen, Edward R. and Charlie Collins.

Bigsound runs from September 4 – 7.
