'A voice as deep as the ocean and as soulful as a church choir.' – Koori Mail
Radical Son is the creative moniker of David Leha, an artist from the Kamilaroi nation of Australia and the South Pacific nation of Tonga. His voice carries the compelling story of his turbulent past, restoration through culture and ever-deepening connection to Country, which has been captured in two critically-acclaimed albums: Cause 'N Affect (2014) and Bilambiyal (2024).
Mentored by the late Archie Roach AC, Radical Son is an exemplary concert artist, with stage credits including a starring role in Opera Australia's production of The Rabbits – the award-winning opera by Kate Miller-Heidke, Lally Katz and Iain Grandage. He was a core chorister and featured artist in Archie Roach's national tour of Into the Bloodstream, and has received standing ovations across the country at Bluesfest, WOMADelaide and Sydney Festival.
Radical Son will be joined by two of his bandmates for an intimate performance of his ARIA Award-nominated album Bilambiyal (The Learning). Created in collaboration with artists including Emma Donovan, Frank Yamma, Marcus Longfoot and Jida Gulpilil, Bilambiyal weaves spoken word with potent songs that speak to resilience, identity and cultural strength.
