High energy, R‘n’B pop with a traditional Tiwi twist.

Six-piece band B2M from the Northern Territory’s Tiwi Islands perform high energy R’n’B pop with a traditional Tiwi twist. It’s a sound that has taken the Top End by storm and is set to have the rest of the country raving.

The band’s song lyrics come from their life experiences growing up in an Aboriginal community 80km north of Darwin and seeing firsthand the effects of drugs and alcohol on their people. Educating the kids of the future through their music and encouraging people to make a change in their lives is what keeps this band going and gives their music such passion. It’s guaranteed to create instant B2M fans and have you hitting the dance floor.

Meet the artist

B2M

B2M is a six-piece band from the Tiwi Islands, 80km north of Darwin, where the Arafura Sea meets the Timor Sea. These strong Tiwi men write, sing and perform music about the issues we all face but with a particular focus on the experiences of Indigenous youth.

Role models in their community, B2M members are well-known identities in Australia’s Northern Territory but their music aims for universal appeal. They have toured extensively in the Territory, represented Australia on the international stage in China, Timor and Indonesia and are starting to make waves on the national festival circuit.
