Fablice Manirakiza and his nephew G Storm make up the hip-hopping duo who tell their life experiences through their music.

Only in Australia for seven years, Fablice spoke to the students about his life in his homeland of Burundi.

"After losing my parents at the age of eight, I was conscripted when I was 11-years-old by rebel forces to be a boy soldier to fight in neighbouring countries."

Fablice spoke to the students about his experiences.

"I never got enough to eat, had no sleep, and I felt I was somewhere I didn't belong I couldn't believe what was happening to me."

Fighting and doing harm to others was against Fablice's morals and when he was sent for food for the soldiers, he a chance to escape. He found his way to his remaining family in a refugee camp. There he meet his nephew G Storm for the first time, who was born in the camp. The family came to Australia, where Fablice eventually met up with Paul Stewart through a youth program called Artful Dodger run by Jesuit Social Services.

With Mr Stewart's love of music, they soon found common ground and the rest is history.

Mr Stewart introduced Fablice to singer songwriter Paul Kelly. "I thought he may like to play some of Kelly' s music, and he replied why doesn't he play some of mine," he said.

The result is the emotive and moving track Child Soldier, which the duo performed for the students.

Year 10 student Alex Preston was rapt. "I loved listening to their stories. It inspired me knowing how far they have come".

Fablice spoke of his goals. "I wish to become a musician and to educate people about the harsh realities of third world life."
