Archie Roach is an acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter known for his deeply moving and socially conscious music. Born in 1956 to a Gunditjmara mother and a Scottish father, Roach's early life was marked by the trauma of being forcibly removed from his family under the government's assimilation policies. His experiences as an Indigenous Australian have profoundly shaped his music, which often explores themes of identity, loss, and resilience. Roach's songs are characterized by their raw emotional power, poetic lyrics, and haunting melodies, earning him widespread recognition and numerous awards, including the ARIA Award for Best Male Artist in 1991.
