Airlie Beach local Noah Robertson continued his rise to fame with a winning performance amongst the country’s best busking talent in the finals of the 10th annual Australian National Busking Championships in Cooma, New South Wales.
Dozens of musicians competed in the major event for the honour of being crowned the nation’s finest busker, with 12-year-old Noah putting on the show of a lifetime to win the 13 years and under primary category.
The singer songwriter is already a seasoned performer and took to the stage with guitar in hand to show off skills that have impressed the likes of some of the country’s premier country musicians, including Sarah McCleod.
“Have you got ears; can you see what’s going on in here? This kid is 12, can you actually believe it?” McCleod said of Robertson.
The St Catherine’s Catholic College student is setting himself up as a serial winner, previously claiming top spots in local competitions like Whitsundays Got Talent, this year’s Noosa Sounds Busking Competition, as well as winning a Young Stars award at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
Amongst the judging panel was country music legend James Blundell and Oz Balydon of Gympie Music Muster where Noah performed as an artist earlier in the year.
Noah said he was “so grateful and excited to have won the Australian National Busking Championships.”
“There is so much talent out there on the streets,” Noah said.
“I have to give a big thank you to my parents for their love and support every day and taking me to Cooma to compete.”
