About
A pop superstar and household name in South Sudan, Gordon Koang has had a prolific career. After releasing ten albums and touring the world, he continues to spread a message of ‘peace, hope and unity’ through his dance floor style. In 2014, he fled South Sudan’s civil war, arriving in Australia to seek asylum. Since then, his unique performances have won over the Australian music industry, receiving Levi’s Music Prize at BIGSOUND and five nominations at the Music Victoria Awards in 2019. This year, Gordon Koang will release a brand new album, the first to be recorded entirely in Australia with local musicians.
