Requiem (AU)

Hip-hop artist Requiem (aka Clayton Bennett) is an artist with Melbourne in his heart and Darwin in his blood. After a childhood living along the Murray River in country Victorian border town Echuca, the young MC moved to hone his craft in the smoke-filled venues of mid-2000s Melbourne. While his early years were influential, Requiem’s late 20s were life changing – flying north to the thick humid soup of tropical Darwin six years ago seeking new adventures. Requiem’s experiences immersed in the Northern Territory culminated in 2015 with his album Louvres. Gaining accolades from the Herald Sun (“…an exploratory – and imaginative – official debut”, 4 stars) and the Guardian Australia (“wry observations of a city which has clearly gotten under his skin”), Requiem went on to support giants of Australian hip-hop such as Illy, Drapht, Horrorshow, Jimblah, Seth Sentry, Spit Syndicate and more. His most recent single Treading Water took cues from Requiem’s self, rather than his surroundings – an internal battle of panic and uncertainty. Teaming up with renowned producer Cam Bluff (Hilltop Hoods, Illy, Allday), who produced the bulk of Louvres, the song had TheMusic.Com.Au noting, “fans can expect big things moving forward for Requiem.” Now back in Melbourne, Requiem is in the studio working on a new release and getting ready for a busy 2017.
