After spending November on the road touring regional east-coast Australia, rapper 360 will continue his reemergence in 2024 with another run of live shows March-April.
A year that has seen him release six singles including collabs with Ally Rendall ('Lose It'), Joel Fletcher ('Knowing My Place') and Gossling ('Made Me Like This'), 360's most recent track is the battle rap 'Most Wanted Freestyle' that landed last month.2023 also saw 360 return to the stage, undertaking his first tour in six years in June with a sold-out series of metro dates that propelled the 'Boys Like You' and 'Price Of Fame' rapper to undertake more shows with part one of his Back To Life tour last month.
"Part one was so good, though I'm not going to lie, after the first tour in June I was nervous because I felt so rusty still," admits 360.
"I had to shake off a lot of cobwebs and it got in my head a bit, I felt stiff, I struggled loosening up and having fun performing. But this tour – that feeling has completely gone, thankfully.
"Now I've been vibing with the music, having fun and feeling like I used to back in the day. It's taken a lot of work to get here, but it's so good to be back."
360 is undeniably back, better than ever before – and his hard-fought and inspiring journey to find peace and strength has flowed over into his creations.
"I was in a horrible place, I had a whole bunch of music I was making but the lack of self-confidence and social anxiety had wreaked havoc on my frame of mind. I wanted to stay indoors and avoid the world, I lost the spark to live and be better.
"But this year I made a conscious choice to turn things around and take back control of my life, so it's been a mixture of things. It started with a tonne of therapy every week, understanding my issues inside and out.
"Then that evolved into working with a life coach. I had to figure out the exact man I wanted to be and stop living like a little boy, so that's what I'm in the process of doing right now. A lot of it is about doing the work I would usually avoid doing at all costs.
"I'm not a confrontational person and I let that get out of hand to the point I wouldn't stand up for myself or communicate honestly. So learning to be more assertive, to have trust in myself and actually love myself again.
"Also, I can't stress the importance of the fitness side of things, smashing the gym regularly and eating healthy has done way more than any medication has. . . so this has been the process to coming back to life."
With shows planned in Tamworth, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Sydney, Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Launceston, Devonport, Hobart, Perth (x2 shows) and Dunsborough, 360 fans can also expect more new music in 2024.
"I am working on an album, collab projects, and I intend to jump back into the arena of rap battling as well," 360 reveals. "I'll be doing a bunch of other sh.t too, like showing certain steps I've taken to get myself better.
"I really wanna show others who are stuck in a rut that if they need a way out, this is how I've done it, but you've gotta put in the hard work. It's f...ing good to be back."
