‘Central Kids’

“I made a video for the cute little song I made when I was in Wilcannia last year with Sarah from Shopfront. Working from Wilcannia Central School and Wings Drop In Centre, I helped about 10 kids aged 8 to 14 write their own verses and the chorus. All the video footage was recorded while we weren’t recording vocals! The beat is Teach Me How To Dougie by Cali Swag District.”
