Allan Skien

I started off using my YouTube channel to publish my songs along with some videos of family history which incorporate Super 8 footage taken by our father, Gordon Skien, during the 1950's before his untimely death in 1959.

As the number of views would suggest, my songs haven't exactly gone viral but I still enjoy writing and recording songs about whatever moves me, for better or for worse.

Having had the privilege of teaching as a Multimedia teacher at Ramingining between 2006 and 2012, along with anyone who is fortunate enough to visit this community, I developed a deep admiration for the people and their culture. Recently I have tentatively uploaded footage created largely by my Yolngu students of community celebrations, sporting events and school functions. Happily there have been no objections to the videos which would suggest that none have caused any offence. From 11 Subscribers and very few views my channel activity has now skyrocketed which I find very satisfying.
