After winning the 2025 Big Break title, Liam Maihi is being touted as the next big thing in country music. It’s easy to see why when you listen to his latest single “Bound to Yours.” Liam’s voice is gritty and honest, fuelled by emotion as he sings out the lyrics he penned during a run of shows in Ngambri/Canberra.
“I had just got off a FaceTime with my partner and kids and was feeling a little homesick. It came flooding out,” he said. The song was originally conceived as a ballad, but Liam made a few tweaks and developed it into a certified country-rock banger.
“I wanted it to have that drive in the music. Something that you listen to while ‘on the road’. I realised that I’m not the only one alone in this situation of working away to support my family and that many of the people who love country also work on the road,” he said.
Liam will have a little downtime over Christmas, but he’ll be back on stages soon enough. Catch him at the following country music events in the New Year.
16-25 January 2026 – Tamworth Country Music Festival, Kamilaroi Country/Tamworth
