I have Aboriginal roots on my father's side, and have always indentified with that spirit. I feel a lot of my music comes from that place. Xavier Rudd aboriginalfatherfeel Change image and share on social
Playing live is everything. Sometimes being on the road is hard, and it's a lot of work, and tiring. From a musical point of view, you improve all the time. Not only that, but you learn how to deal with people and deal with energy in a live setting. Xavier Rudd dealenergyhard share on social
My dad was a really good surfer, and by the time I was 10, he was dragging me out on some good days at Bells. I'd reckon they were solid, 6-foot days, and he'd tell me to wait on the shoulder. I'd see him coming through the barrel, and he'd just scream at me to go. I'd drop in, and he'd give me a hoot from behind - I've always loved it. Xavier Rudd barrelbellcome share on social
