Loki Liddle is a proud Jabirr Jabirr poet and musician. He is the lead singer and songwriter of Gold Coast rock band Selve who recently made history recording their album ‘Breaking Into Heaven’ at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Damn Good Television is Loki’s first published work and was the outcome of a 6 x month poetry residency through HOTA’s Artkeeper program in 2024. Beyond this as a poet Loki has performed at events and venues such as HOTA, La Boit Theatre, Woodford Folk Festival, Horizon Festival, Brisbane Festival, Bleach Festival, he was the 2019 winner of the Nimbin Poetry Cup and has had a short story and a poem featured in the Griffith Review.

Through his band Selve Loki has toured nationally, internationally and has performed alongside artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Doechii, Archie Roach, Electric Fields, Megan Washington, Matt Corby and many more. In 2025 he launched Breaking Into Heaven to a sold out audience by performing it live with a 33-piece orchestra as part of Bleach Festival.

As the writings of Damn Good Television directly informed the lyricism of Breaking Into Heaven, this work will be an excellent way for readers to go deeper into the interconnected universes Loki creates across his works.
