Born and raised in South-West Sydney, ARIA-nominated L-FRESH The LION is one of Australia’s most important hip-hop artists. Inspired by his Sikh and Punjabi roots and the soulful US hip-hop movement of the early 2000s, his music makes a potent statement about reconciliation and self-belief. His third studio album South West is dedicated to his 13-year-old self, a second-generation migrant kid, offering lessons on how to be confident in yourself and stay proud of your culture.
