The duo performed on NITV's Big Mob Brekky among other breakfast shows during NAIDOC Week. AYA J is one to watch and listen out for in 2022. She made headlines as the first bisexual and First Nations Bachelorette, but since then she has been keeping busy most recently writing her memoir 'Big Love', recording a podcast with fellow Aboriginal Australian Matty Mills 'Not So PG', and becoming the cover woman of the latest edition of Women's Health magazine.
"I guess [going] back to where my ancestors have been for thousands of years... and I definitely felt that presence of being back on country lore, so going back there and doing what I love and sharing that with mob was just massive."
