Hilltop Hoods Initiative Winner from 2007, Jimblah, has launched his debut full-length album entitled Face the Fire and is currently on tour with The Herd. Jimblah crosses cultural lines and musical tastes with his debut effort Face the Fire on which he shares stories from his life through Hip Hop narration. Face the Fire, title track off the album, is a touching story of grief and loss and how to move through the pain of losing a loved one.

Jimblah is an Indigenous producer/MC/writer from Adelaide, South Australia, hailing from the Larrakia nation in Australia’s Top End. Influenced by a wide range of different artists and genres, his main passion is Hip Hop. Jimblah has performed all over the country at various festivals and events including the Big Day Out, The Dreaming Festival and Good Vibrations Festival. In 2008 Jimblah toured with A-Love on her Main Ingredient Tour across Australia. Jimblah has featured on works by local Hip Hop legends such as A-Love, Raph Boogie and F&D.  Face the Fire was produced entirely by Jimblah in his home studio in Adelaide and features collaborations with underground artists LD, Zaleek, Georgia Humphreys and Alex Treuhl (Australian Idol Finalist).  Face the Fire is available now for download from iTunes and will be available in hardcopy at all good music outlets.  A Face the Fire tour by Jimblah will be staged later in 2011 nationally.

Currently you can catch Jimblah on The Herd – Future Shade Tour at selected dates including this Friday September 16, Prince Bandroom, Melbourne.
