Attributed extracts from the research record
“Declan Byrne chats to three refugees making music in Australia. Despite the struggles of identity, they are spreading messages of positivity”
“Once settled in Australia, refugees can add immense value to our society, including telling their stories through music.”
“Music is so powerful," says P-UniQue, "I realised that I have the ability to voice my opinions and what I’m feeling and what’s affecting me and the people around me. People will bob their heads, but there is a message behind it. They’ll go home bobbing to my music but it’s drilled within their heads what I’m trying to say.”
