Episode 3 - Michael (Wizz) Weir, the Gentle Storyteller

Michael Weir is hard to define by career. He’s kinda anything he wants to be. A businessman, a musician, a mentor, a storyteller, a leader of hip hop workshops, a producer, an artist, a writer. Above all he’s a proud Wiradjuri man and everything he does is designed to honour his heritage, share stories and educate people and inspire the next generation of indigenous creatives.

We talked about his youth and his life, fatherhood and how and why he dedicates so much time to young indigenous people. We talked about his clothing brand, Sacred Era. He shared information on Aboriginal kinship and skin names and even got him to give us a few beats from one of his originals, Black Anzac.

At the end of our short time together and even listening back through the edit, I was left feeling humbled and inspired. I hope you do too. Enjoy the beautiful Michael Weir.
