Trials

Highly acclaimed producer and half of hip-hop duo A.B. Original, Trials has been credited on projects from Australian icons such as Thelma Plum, DZ Deathrays, Hilltop Hoods and Gurrumul. In February 2026, Trials unveiled his highly autobiographical solo album Hendle, an unflinching recollection of a childhood built on displacement and the carceral system. Deeply personal, textured and vibrant, Trials is bringing his album, built on resilience and vulnerability, to the stage of Laneway 2027.
