Madi Colville-Walker

Madi Colville-Walker, is a proud Yorta Yorta woman, and an inspiring musician who has had many opportunities after her very first performance at the Tamworth CMAA Junior Academy back in 2017.

Madi has performed at many significant shows throughout Australia and has supported well-known artists including Uncle Archie Roach, Alice Skye, Isaiah Firebrace, Benny Walker, Fanny Lumsden, Kutcha Edwards and Darlinghurst. 2023 was a huge year for Madi, a highlight being named the recipient of the NIMA’S (National Indigenous Music Awards) Uncle Archie Roach Foundation Award.

Madi continues to hold a strong connection to Country, to her community, and to the many organisations and people she has connected with throughout her journey as an artist. With a gift for storytelling through song, our Festival guests are in for a rare treat as Madi sings the songs of the Yorta Yorta people in language at several special events our Festival weekend.
