Joji Malani’s journey: Healing, Gang of Youths and a record label of his own
Imagine being a teenager stuck in a hospital bed, unable to walk for two years after major surgery, staring out at a rugby field where you once dreamed of playing.
For Joji Malani, it was in this painful and isolating moment that music became a lifeline - and eventually a monument to who he is today.
From his childhood in Fiji to global stages with Australian rock band Gang of Youths and now creating opportunities for Pacific voices through his label Broth Records, Joji's story is one of resilience, heritage, and building pathways for others.
