The night also saw Jessica Mauboy inducted into the National Indigenous Music Awards Hall of Fame.

Ahead of this year's APRA Awards, we spoke to three of the Emerging Songwriter Of The Year nominees – Miss Kaninna, Emily Wurramara, and Jem Cassar-Daley – about the most important thing they've learned about songwriting.

Fresh from winning Best Adult Contemporary Album for 'NARA', Emily Wurramara is hitting the road amidst making some ARIA history.

They'll be joined by Troy Cassar-Daley, 3%, Emily Wurramara, Electric Fields, and more.

Winners of this year's J Awards will be announced later this month.

Altogether, the lineup for the 2024 Queenscliff Music Festival now spans a total of 30 acts.

Six years on from ‘Milyakburra’, Emily Wurramara has evolved – personally and artistically – into a whole new woman. Her journey to the forefront was chronicled on the Anindilyakwa singer-songwriter’s second album, ‘NARA’, which she candidly unpacks in this exclusive interview.

Emily Wurramara’s third new song for 2024 is about “the hard work that you have to do when things go to sh*t”.

“It's precious to show people why this life is beautiful and worth sticking around for.”

“This song pretty much paints a picture of a soul seeking freedom and unburdening herself from societal constraints.”
