2025 Luminosity Youth Summit 27 Keanu Jai I’m a 20-year-old singer songwriter currently living it out in Melbourne, paying my dues as a musician by making coffee, finding my feet, getting inspired by all that is around me, and playing to 10,000 people a day… (busking at the state library.. that is). For the last 12 months I’ve been bunkered in with my dear friend and producer Peter Hume (evermore), where we have set out to make my first EP. My first single is going to come out later this year – a song that I think is just as nostalgic, personal and bittersweet as it is fun, warm and lush. I’m really proud to share with you where I’m at :) I’ve shared stages with some bands and artists that I spent my younger years adoring, including The Rubens, Thelma Plum, Pacific Avenue, Emily Wurramurra, Selfish Sons, Ash Grunwald, Dizzy Days, Kyle Lionhart and more, but I know this is just the beginning. In true coming-of-age fashion, I’m working on it! Paying a visit to his hometown Port Macquarie after a few years of big city living, 20-year-old singersongwriter Keanu Jai has had some big wins already, but he knows there is still a long road ahead. Keanu will talk about his idea of ‘the dream’, life as a small artist in Melbourne, the beauty of street performing, building community, and the importance (and joy) of creating your own opportunities. This will include the performance of two original songs that showcase his voice, his sound and his journey thus far.
