Lann Levinge

As a Kombumerri man with a passion for music and language development, Lann is deeply immersed in the heart of the coast’s creative arts field.

In recent years, Lann has become more deeply involved in First Nations structures, bringing benefits to his community and gaining a more intimate connection with Country. He is increasingly sought after to design cultural soundscapes, document and record language, create visual installations, and develop new approaches to presenting language-based “Welcome to Country” through the integration of music, dance, and video elements.

Credits include 2018 Commonwealth Games, Festival 18, Yugambeh Museum, HOTA Naidoc celebration, and Musical Direction for First Nations program at Arts Ablaze (collaboration with Alicia Jones), composing an original score of soundscapes for Cloud Play at HOTA, and Those Who Rock with Everybody NOW.
