The pop duo will be breaking new ground in Malmö, Sweden when they represent Australia on 7 May

Zaachariaha Fielding got his first taste of the joy of performing as a young boy growing up in remote South Australia.

But their Australian TV debut came earlier, by way of televised song contests: Ross reached the Top 6 of 2013’s the X-Factor with a cover of Diana Ross’ You Can’t Hurry Love, and Fielding made it to the grand final of the Voice in 2015, performing Tracy Chapman’s Talkin’ Bout a Revolution. “It’s such a major deal,” says Ross now. “We make art for the sake of it I’ve always been deeply ambitious. My deep hope was always to impact the world, even in the smallest positive way.”‘I had to hide my soul up until I left school,’ says Ross, right, who plays keys in and produces Electric Fields.Coming out was not a simple proposition for Ross, who grew up in conservative, religious Queensland.

For Fielding, growing up in a remote Indigenous community as a queer kid held its own unique challenges: queer sexuality, he says, is not something that is verbalised in his culture.“With my family, I didn’t even come out … There was no reason for it. My brother reminded me of it a few years ago – he said, ‘You know, you didn’t really come out to us.’ I didn’t really verbalise it, I was just more being it.”. He says the stage is where he feels most free to express who he is.
