Marlon is taking to the stage to launch his latest track, ‘Blood in the Water’ on the 17th of February.
Written in protest to many of the injustices that indigenous Australians feel in modern society, and how many who live in privileged positions tend to ignore and avoid these issues.
“‘Blood in the Water’ is a record written in reflection of the reality in the Australian society when it comes to the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It represents the mentality that we as a country hold, knowing of the injustices that takes place towards people of colour, yet many of us are content to live on in our day to day lives as if these injustices are non-existent.”
