Fred Leone Biography
Fred Leone is one of the Butchulla Songmen with Aboriginal, Tongan and South-Sea Islander roots. He comes from the Garrwa and Butchulla tribes. Fred’s role as a Songman sees him as one of the custodians of traditional Butchulla songs and one of a handful of keepers and custodians of their language.
Fred blends his love of hip-hop rhyming and his singularly unique vocal style with his adeptness at playing traditional instruments in a modern context to create an utterly new and unique sound. He’s known for his abilities to transcend genre and form whilst bringing the true integrity of his life’s calling as a Songman to the forefront all that he touches.
