LOCAL singer/songwriter Max Fredericks is launching his debut album in Darwin next week, paving a way for Darwin musos to hit the big time.

With songs about travelling, living on the road and family – many tropes of the Territory, Fredericks said the Darwin community inspired him to put pen to paper and sound to the microphone during lockdown periods in 2020.

“Darwin has helped me a lot, firstly with doing a lot of gigs it helps me save up money to do it and the Territory’s an inspiration in itself,” he said.
