In this week's episode of North East Arnhem Land with Mon we were lucky enough to speak with Producer at The Mulka Project and Chairman at Lirrwi Yolngu Tourism Aboriginal Cultural Immersion - Arian Pearson.

“I grew up thinking about where I belonged in the world”

Figuring out where you fit in on this Earth can be tricky - and when your parents come from different cultures with different backgrounds - it can make it that much more confusing.

Arian Pearson has a Yolŋu mother and a white father. He was born and raised in Nhulunbuy until his teen years. Like many parents in the region, Arian's father's sent him to boarding school to try and give him the best education possible. However, although Arian describes his time at the school based in Queensland as "amazing" - his yearning to reconnect with culture eventually brought him back to his remote hometown.

In this episode Arian speaks about his strong connection with the land, his incredible career in music and his passion for community development. He also shares with us how he met his German wife - who he recently married in Europe.

Arian was a member of the hugely popular nine piece band, East Journey - who was once described by America's Rolling Stone magazine as "explosive". The young musician is now a producer at The Mulka Project and helps other local artists follow their dreams as well as helping to document Yolŋu culture.

With a passion for community development and sustainable tourism, Arian is also currently the Chairman at Lirrwi Tourism.

He has big dreams and there is no doubt in our minds that Arian Pearson will achieve every single one of them.
