Based in Melbourne, this young artist uses his talent to shine with deep and relatable vulnerability. Didirri highlights every instrument of his new album Measurements with a beautiful purity that allows you to truly feel each measure. With a great live show and loyal fanbase, Didirri is inspiring widespread sing-a-longs at festivals all over the world. Didirri tells Triple J: “Each song I write tackles a different part of my own morality. I was pondering metaphorically what my scribblings were and came to the conclusion that they are my ‘measuring tape’ to hold up to the world. The yardstick to check myself with.” Let the music speak for itself and take a listen to “I Can’t Get Last Night Our Of My Head” before sprinting to hear Measurements out now via UNIFIED.
