Harry Jakamarra grew up in Broome, WA where he started playing the guitar at age 12. Now 22 Harry is living and touring in his home made house truck, once a fire engine now a quirky, gypsy home that runs on waste cooking oil.

Throughout his relatively young musical career Harry has played with and supported acts such as John Butler, Missy Higgins and Paul Kelly, to name a few.

Harry’s songs are a mix of poetic mastery combined with raw and rhythmic playing. Drawing on a wealth of life experience uncharacteristic of his age (including time spent as a crocodile skinner) he creates a dark and complex lyrical world.

He is an accomplished ‘claw hammer’ banjoist and his guitar playing is uniquely intricate. He has recently been nominated for a WAM song of the year award.
