When it comes to racialised discrimination and injustice, silence is violence - and that makes Sydney-based Hip Hop and freestyle artist Ziggy Ramo the roaring sound of peace. Since his first release in 2016, Ramo’s razor-sharp lyricism and effortless musical talent have positioned him as an essential voice in Australia’s national conversation. Born to an Aboriginal and Solomon Islander father and a mother of Scottish heritage in Bellingen NSW, and brought up across Arnhem Land and Perth WA, Ramo, whose full name is Ziggy Ramo Burrmuruk Fatnowna, defies categorisation. In music and life, he’s an activist, but he’s much more than that.
