Dan Sultan can play a packed festival gig or a rock show in a theatre but the thought of performing in front of a certain crowd is terrifying to the Aussie rocker.

Dan Sultan can play a packed festival gig or a rock show in a theatre but the thought of performing in front of young kids is terrifying to the Aussie rocker.

The multiple ARIA Award winning singer has released a children’s album — Nali & Friends — and will hit the road to support the release.

Before then though, the 35-year-old will become a father for the first time with partner Bronnie Jane Lee due to give birth to a daughter in four weeks.

“I play my own music in the house too much so she would have grown up listening to her old man anyway,” he told Confidential at the launch of Spotify Family x Google Home.

“I am a shocker for that stuff; I put my hand up to that. It is good to have something that she will actually enjoy. I wanted to write this for kids but I wrote it for adults as well, or make it at least something that adults wouldn’t totally get ‘baby sharked’ over. Hopefully I have done that.”

The album knocked The Wiggles off the top spot on the charts last month and there is talk of turning it into a children’s book.

Sultan will play “a couple of gigs” to support the album later this year.

Sultan has released this children’s album and will hit the road to support the release.

“I can play a big theatre but half an hour singing about farting gorillas and giraffes to little kids is terrifying but exciting,” he said.

The album was inspired by a trip to Africa and features characters including an Arctic Tern named Nali, as well as Bwindi the gorilla, Camilo the armadillo, Ya Ya the panda and Koomba the potoroo.

“Nali was born with a crooked wing and she flies in her own unique way,” he explained. “They are a migratory bird from the north to the South Pole but she gets lost because she does things her own way. She meets mates along the way and makes friends and everyone has something unique about them, something that makes them a little bit different

and special.”
