I.D. is a Melbourne-born rapper and poet whose words hit with soul, substance, and sharp intent. Rooted in the rhythms of hip-hop and the depth of storytelling, his sound bridges generations — blending the golden era spirit of New York with the warmth of Southern soul. A gifted lyricist, I.D. brings both bars and live instrumentation to the stage as a member of the genre-bending soul band Soul Bourne.
With Cypriot blood in his veins and music running through his lineage, I.D.’s artistry is a continuation of legacy. His grandfather, who arrived in Australia from Cyprus, played the piano accordion in local bands — a symbol of resilience and rhythm that echoes in I.D.’s own creative journey.
A former representative of Melbourne in the Word War One freestyle battles of the mid-2000s, I.D. sharpened his voice in cyphers and street corners. Today, his work is inspired by artists like J. Cole, The Roots, and Leon Bridges — artists who balance vulnerability with strength and soul with message.
I.D. doesn’t just rap — he remembers, reflects, and redefines what hip-hop can sound like when fused with memory, melody, and meaning.
