As a singer-songwriter, deborahN, Deb’s music and sounds envelop the audience in smooth tones that embrace an indie rock, soul, gospel and Indigenous RnB style. Her original songs express a journey of life experience. Her covers retell the storyings from the past and from the place she stands now, giving audiences a unique view of life from deborahN’s perspective, living away from the Torres Strait Islands. deborahN shares her Meriam identity through language songs, both contemporary and traditional.

deborahN is a member of Ballarat’s Sweet Mona’s Choir and 10 piece Motown soul band Motor City Sounds. She also performed in the opening gala Resurgence for Her Majesty’s Theatre. In 2024, deborahN collaborated with The Bòite in designing and performing Maiem: Songs of the Torres Strait Islands with Stella Savy, and featuring Christine Anu and 180 piece choir.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
