Music career

While playing basketball in the US, Humphries occasionally sang the American national anthem before basketball matches, and for charity events. [4] He restarted his music career after some years immersed in basketball, during which time he started learning new instruments that he could play anywhere. As of 2024 he was continuing the two careers in parallel, performing as well as writing and releasing music. In that year, he was an ambassador for the Adelaide Fringe, [3] as well as performing a show called Unearthed. It was so named because it focused on sharing personal moments and songs that helped him "unearth" who he became. The show included original songs as well as cover versions, which he sings in his tenor voice. [46] The season sold out. [47]

For the 2025 Adelaide Fringe, Humphries performs his show called More of Me. [47]

Personal life

On 16 November 2022, Humphries came out as gay. [48] [49] The announcement saw Humphries become the only active openly gay male professional basketball player in a top-tier league anywhere in the world. He also became the first ever Australian male basketball player and first player in the NBL to be openly gay. [50] [51] He said that he had struggled with his sexuality and contemplated suicide, but ultimately decided that he would be happier to be open about it with his teammates. [48] [52] He posted a video online, which was shared widely, including by Lauren Jackson, Dylan Alcott, and Andrew Gaze. By February 2023 it had garnered around 10 million views, with mostly positive responses, including messages from Tones and I and Dannii Minogue. However, although the NBA sent a message of solidarity, not a single active NBA player showed support. [2]

Humphries has a tattoo on his arm reading "silence is loud", referring to his depression. [2] He is a friend of Prinnie Stevens, who was also an Adelaide Fringe ambassador in 2024. [46]
