OutInCanberra caught up with Black Summer, aka Canberra 14-year-old music producer Rhys Toms, to ask him his top five things for teenagers to do in the capital.
Hit the Shops
Well, I’m a a bit of a ‘mall rat’ haha. I love going to my local mall with my friends, hanging out, grabbing a burger, looking at the video game shops and I love buying clothes.
Music, music, music!
I love going out to my huge local music store! I love checking out new synths and pianos. I get on the drums and see what’s new in DJ gear and digital production equipment!
Doggo paradise
I have two awesome dogs, Pickle the pug and Tink the foxie-cross. I love playing with them either down at Lake Burley Griffin or at my local sporting ovals. Even better – with me being a burger freak – to grab a burger by the Kingston foreshore at the same time haha!
Cooling off in summer
Being a northsider I love going to Dickson Pool with my friends and family. Sometimes I spend all day there and end up having a BBQ and ice cream by the pool to finish off.
Bounce
There are a few local trampoline parks in Canberra, and I love going!! Chasing your mates around on those in-ground tramps and backflipping in to the foam pits is awesome fun…and so is making fun of each other if we stuff it up!!
