J-Milla, often styled J-MILLA, is an Aboriginal Australian hip hop musician . He was born as Jacob Nichaloff in Darwin in the Northern Territory.

Early life and education

J-Milla was born in Darwin as Jacob Nichaloff,[1] and is of the Marranunggu people of the Litchfield Park area in the Northern Territory (NT). He spent his childhood in Darwin (where he started rapping at the age of 11),[2] but came to Adelaide, South Australia, to attend Scotch College,[3] at the age of 12.[1]

Career

J-Milla started releasing rap videos on social media when he was around 18, which built a large following.[1]

His first single, "My People", was released in 2018.[2][4]

In 2020, J-Milla pledged to donate the earnings from his single "Unlock the System" to the family of Kumanjayi Walker, an Aboriginal man who was killed during an arrest attempt. The song was strongly supported by the ABC radio station Triple J.[5] In November 2020, he performed at the TREATY festival as part of NAIDOC Week at Tandanya in Adelaide, along with Dem Mob, MLRN x RKM, and shared the MC duties with actor Natasha Wanganeen.[6] J-Milla was selected for TikTok's online music festival that year.[7]

He performed on the closing day of the Adelaide Festival in March 2021, at an event called "Hip Hop Finale", along with Ziggy Ramo, JK-47 and Jimblah.[3][8]

On Saturday 16 November 2024 J-Milla will be performing at the After Race Concert of the Adelaide 500 motor racing event in Adelaide. It will be the biggest show so far for him, and he intends to showcase unreleased work. Others performing that night are Crowded House and Meg Mac.[9][1]

Some of his music deals with problems affecting Aboriginal Australians, such as intergenerational trauma and reconciliation.[1]

Other activities

J-Milla works with Aboriginal children in remote communities, teaching songwriting at schools and helping the children to express their emotions in music. He also does workshops on domestic violence and mental health.[1]

Personal life

As of October 2024 J-Milla is married with two children and lives in Adelaide.[1]
