Radical Son
Radical Son – the powerful voice of David Leha – returns after a five-year hiatus with ‘Bilambiyal’ (‘The Learning’), a soul-stirring new album that cements his place as one of Australia’s most commanding and emotionally resonant artists. With roots in the Kamilaroi nation and the South Pacific nation of Tonga, Radical Son draws deep from lived experience to create music that’s both potent and profound.
Renowned for his mesmerising live performances, Radical Son merges soul, hip hop and spoken word into music that challenges, uplifts, and compels. His songs speak of survival, cultural pride, and the path to healing, offering reflections that are at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
‘Bilambiyal’, launched to a standing ovation at Sydney Festival and nominated for an ARIA Award, features collaborations with the likes of Emma Donovan, David Bridie, and Frank Yamma. Its lead single ‘Elder’ has been called an anthem of the year – a track that pulls you in with gravitas and beauty.
Radical Son’s voice is a force of nature: stirring, soulful, and unforgettable. He stands on stage not only as an artist but as a truth-teller, connecting audiences to stories of strength, Country, and identity.
