Matthew Craig
JUNOR
As founder and curator of hip-hop media platform AUD’$ he has helped break several notable Australian acts – the first radio DJ to ever play The Kid Laroi, hand selecting Kwame to join him as a co-headliner for his debut national tour and giving an unsigned Sophiegrophy a live cypher performance slot early in her career. This lead to a takeover of the Hip-Hop Show on Triple J and AUD’$ being proclaimed by host Hau Latukefu as the “go-to spot covering radio, visuals and online content.” Having now twice co-hosted the nation’s premiere hip-hop showcase at BIGSOUND, working regularly with international names including Rae Sremmurd, Madeintyo and Iggy Azalea, and as official curators of “The New Australia” playlist with Apple Music, AUD’$ position as a key emerging influencer in the global hip-hop scene is evident.
