Charlie Woods, one half of the sister duo, is known for their work with Casey Donovan, The Teskey Brothers, The Seven Ups, and Tek Tek Ensemble.
The duo’s debut album, Saltwater People, featured the single and video ‘Daryung’, which was showcased on RAGE, earned them triple j Unearthed Artists of the Week, and was featured in the ABC documentary ‘Changing Tides’ as part of a NAIDOC Week special.
Their latest album, NYAA WA, has further expanded their reach, with music videos landing in the top 50 for 2024 on Rage and receiving editorial praise across platforms like ABC News, Women In Pop, Spotify’s Big Ancestor Energy, and Apple’s FIRST.
The album’s title, NYAA WA, meaning ‘take care’ in the language of their mob, the GuriNgai peoples language, reflects the duo’s deep connection to the land, waterways, wildlife, and cultural preservation.
The songs highlight the importance of protecting sacred sites, nurturing cultural heritage, and sharing the stories of their people, emphasizing the need to keep culture alive and protect these sacred places from development.
