2. Matt Purcell (Australia)

Matt was adopted from South Korea as a young boy and he now lives in Australia. He writes music, speaks in high schools, and mentors young people through music. He has supported some big acts over the years like Thirsty Merc, Stan Walker and Jimmy Barnes, but he has found it very difficult to get passed that point. He loves helping other people, and even though he has a passion to get the most out of his music talents and ideas, he can’t seem to break through. He loves music and he’s very passionate about it.

3. Alex (Albania)

Alex is currently 24 years old and he hails from Albania. He has a biological need to express himself through singing and poetry. His stage persona incorporates his “best self”, the one who is both male and female, king and slave, malicious yet miserable. Living in a conservative and close minded country, he had the possibility to understand the true meaning of the word: Survive. To taste the extremes. To infect himself with reality as the only road to his true and pure self. He breathes art just to feel a bit of humanity.
