Storytelling with Songwriting.

DOBBY is a true force of nature, with his electrifying live performances leaving audiences spellbound. As a rapper, drummer, composer and producer, he brings a dynamic and powerful energy to his live shows delivering an experience like no other. Proudly identifying as a Filipino and Murrawarri musician, DOBBY's roots run deep in the Aboriginal lands from Brewarrina and Weilmoringle in New South Wales. DOBBY's music has taken him across the globe, from Germany to the UK, the USA to the Netherlands. He has performed at some of the biggest festivals across the country, including Bluesfest and Boomerang Festival (NSW), Port Fairy Folk Festival (VIC), PARRTJIMA Festival (NT), OzAsia Festival (SA), and the iconic Sydney Opera House, as well as, the 2021-22 New Year's Eve Fireworks. DOBBY composed all the soundscapes for PARRTJIMA 2021 & 2022 in Alice Springs, NT, and his music was the driving force behind Australia's first 500-strong drones show, Elevate Sydney 2022 & 2023. DOBBY's music is more than just entertainment; his song 'I CAN'T BREATHE' won Best Video at the FBi SMAC Awards in 2020 and has become an anthem for Australia's Bla(c)k Lives Matter movement and used in schools to educate students on the struggles faced by marginalised communities. In addition to his already impressive list of accomplishments, 2022 brought yet another accolade for DOBBY. He was awarded the NIMA Archie Roach Foundation Award, which recognises emerging First Nations artists who show exceptional talent and promise in their chosen field. This award is a testament to DOBBY's dedication and passion for his craft. His unique style, powerful lyrics, and dynamic performances have captivated audiences worldwide, and his influence is only continuing to grow, there is no doubt that DOBBY will continue to inspire and push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of music.
