The Bunjil Music Business Project was developed to provide Indigenous people with a passion for music, the training and mentorship they need to pursue a career in all aspects of the music industry.

The pilot program ran from October 2013 to March 2014 and brought together leading music organisations in Australia
- The Mushroom Group of Companies, Indigenous Hip Hop Projects and Payback Records.

Through these organisations participants not only learnt about how to write, record, shoot video clips, promote and perform music but they also got hands on experience undertaking these tasks.

Participants K-Zanne Atkinson (Baby K), Kyle Bamblett (Killah B), Sofii Belling, Savanna Kruger, Dale Marsh (MC Marsh), Hayley Briggs Penrose, Dallas Woods along with established performers Illana Atkinson and Meriki Hood each contributed an individual track and joined forces to write a collaboration track as the flagship of the Bunjil Project. The existing and emerging talent that was uncovered has been impressive.

These artists performed in 2014 at 
Payback Record’s Survival Day After Party
The Yalukit Wilum Ngargee Festival, part of the St Kilda Festival 
The Melbourne Indigenous Arts Festival at Federation Square 
And wowed us at the Bunjil Project Finale Showcase event in March.


The project may be over but the music lives on.
