Byron Bay’s Bobby Alu describes his music not by genre, but by feeling—like sipping your favourite drink as the sun sets on a balmy evening filled with possibility. Guided by curiosity, his creative path has taken him from jamming at local markets to tracking rhythms in Ghana, touring the world with Xavier Rudd, and honouring his Samoan roots through music with his mother. Across a discography that began in 2010 and evolved through standout releases like Flow in 2019, Bobby has fused Polynesian rhythms, rich harmonies, and soulful storytelling to create a sound that’s both grounded and expansive, always open to discovery.

With the release of his fourth studio album Keep It Tropical, Alu leans deeper into his sun-drenched mantra—embracing joy, adventure, and perspective. Singles like “Do It,” “Sunsets (With You),” and the reggae-infused “Ready For Your Love” set the tone for a record that’s both breezy and meaningful. He brought the ethos to life through an unconventional 57-date Breakfast Tour across regional Australia, collaborating with local businesses to bring joy, food, and community connection to morning audiences. Captured in daily social mini-docs, the tour mirrored Bobby’s artistic superpower: spreading warmth and positivity without shying away from the real stuff—inviting listeners to keep things in perspective, and above all, to Keep It Tropical.
