  "account": "Fremantle Dockers guitarist Troy Nababan captivates fans with his electrifying performances from the 42-metre-high platform at Perth Stadium. At 38, the Morley father, a father of two, is among a select few who have played for sold-out crowds in the stadium, alongside renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran and Coldplay’s Chris Martin. Nababan, who gets his start from a random phone call in 2019, has since inspired by 80s hair metal bands, frequently rocking AC/DC covers during his gigs. The musician is deeply passionate about football, recently embracing the sport and immersing himself in the team's ups and downs. Despite the intimidating height and see-through metal grate surrounding him, Nababan stays grounded by harnessing the crowd’s energy and maintains his hair by using coconut oil to combat the wind.",
