He wears a traditional headdress adorned with biliirr (red-tailed black cockatoo) and emu feathers when performing and blends traditional instruments like the didgeridoo (yidaki) with modern pop and electronic sounds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was afforded the opportunity to learn the Gamilaraay language and I wanted to share it, not only with my people but with the wider community,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I perform songs bilingually because it&#8217;s so important to me to feel empowered and embrace all the sides of you. I walk in two worlds and it&#8217;s important to acknowledge that and champion it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After his standout TV performance, Tambo was quickly signed by Sony Music Australia. His subsequent singles \u2014 including Together, which he performed in the finals of Australia&#8217;s Eurovision selection in 2020 \u2014 shot up the iTunes World Music charts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_115383\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115383\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115383\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/08\/MitchTambo.PhotoSUPP_96000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/08\/MitchTambo.PhotoSUPP_96000.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/08\/MitchTambo.PhotoSUPP_96000-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/08\/MitchTambo.PhotoSUPP_96000-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/08\/MitchTambo.PhotoSUPP_96000-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/08\/MitchTambo.PhotoSUPP_96000-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-115383\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mitch Tambo.
