It featured the songs “Home for Me” and “Stories of Us,” which helped Higgins make the finals of the Tamworth Songwriters Association awards. He also made the finals of the Australian Songwriters Association awards in 2017. That same year, Higgins graduated from creative industries provider JMC Academy in Melbourne.
