Songlines on RTRFM: Indigo Ellis (Makuru)

It might be getting wild and woolly outside but this Makuru episode of Songlines is sure to provide some comfort. 

Today, Cezera sits down with Indigo Ellis; the 16 year old Noongar girl making music in language and advocating for First Nations youth in her hometown of Boorloo. 

At just 13 years old Indigo released her debut track Home, an ode to finding the lost pieces of her family puzzle as a result of the stolen generation. 

Despite her age Indigo has connected with people all over the country through her tender lyrics, picking up some awards along the way. More recently, she has been nominated as the youth ambassador for the Valuing Children Initiative which aims to prioritise the voice of youth in community decision making.

Songlines is a new RTRFM podcast shining a light on First Nations artists across WA.
