His songs are cathartic, forged from a desire to accurately represent himself, his perspective and his emotions through his words. Aeros sound is introspective, abstract and ethereal blended with both traditional and new-school HipHop sensibilities.

A member of seminal mid-2000s Perth HipHop duo Down South Crew with longtime collaborator Cortext, Aero has shared the stage with many of his childhood idols and inspirations including Atmosphere, KRS-One, Evidence and Drapht among many others.

“CIRCLES” (Aeros first release since 2016s independent album “Shedding Skins”) is a collection of 8 songs representing the evolution of the artist from insecure 20-something to a man ready to claim his ‘young OG’ status.Listen - <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/57dUIspjYz3JwUHwhRbFt3?si=4qEE8r3bSJyzb-kprp0KvA" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a>…This event will take place on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
