About Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu
- Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu (22 January 1971 – 25 July 2017), also referred to since his death as Dr G Yunupingu, was an Indigenous Australian musician.
- A multi-instrumentalist, he played drums, keyboards, guitar (a right-hand-strung guitar played left-handed) and didgeridoo, but it was the clarity of his singing voice that attracted rave reviews.

- Although his solo career brought him wider acclaim, he was also formerly a member of Yothu Yindi, and later Saltwater Band.
