DEM MOB
DEM MOB's mission is to empower youth with our own culture through music. Starting as an engagement idea to get youngest member, Jontae, attending school, DEM MOB morphed into a vehicle for Jontae to make sense of mainstream curriculum. Matt and Elisha, working as Jontae’s teachers; creatively bent curriculum around Jontae's passion for music, resulting in Jontae becoming the first and only male to achieve SACE on country in Pukatja.
Since then, DEM MOB continue to push their potential in the music industry while keeping true to their roots by continuing to engage in educational programs and lobbying for educational reform for at-risk First Nation's youth. The act lights the way for First nations youth and educates mainstream Australians on First nations issues. 2023 was a breakout year coming off their last single 'Still No Justice', the group released their next single "Soul of the Lion' the night they performed to a packed WOMAD crowd, turning heads from punters and music industry folk alike.
