Tyron Hapi and Masked Wolf (Harry Michael), Khaled Rohaim, Sycco (Sasha McLeod) and Budjerah also received songwriter of the year nominations, and Budjerah’s Higher was nominated for most performed R&B/soul work alongside Youngn Lipz’s How?, Miiesha’s Made For Silence, Becca Hatch’s Please U and Jerome Farah’s Vibrate.
AC/DC, triple Grammy nominees this week, received an APRA nod for most performed rock work with Shot in the Dark alongside Spacey Jane’s Lots of Nothing, Jimmy Barnes’ Flesh and Blood, Gang of Youths’ The Angel of 8th Avenue and You Am I’s The Waterboy.
Melbourne band Hiatus Kaiyote’s Mood Valiant was also among this week’s Grammy-nominated albums and singer Nai Palm described Red Room as “sincere and real” following their APRA nomination.
“Music is the projection of intention and vibration,” she said. “It’s worth the risk. And it is a risk, especially as a singer and a songwriter when the stories are your life. It takes a lot of trust, and so you will be rewarded if you jump into the f—ing fire.”
