And massive congrats to overall winner, Beni Bjah..
Last weekend saw the 2015/16 WAM Song Of The Year Awards go down in the beautiful surrounds of B-Shed down in Fremantle, and it proved a landmark night as Beni Bjah took home the overall Award with his track Survivor, the first time an Indigenous Australian has won the award. Survivor is a track that pulls no punches, dealing with the complex racial and cultural issues facing our country, impressing the judges with profound lyrics and impeccable songwriting. As the 2015/16 Grand Prize Winner, Bjah walks away with $3K cash, plus prizes supplied by sponsors Albert Studios, Audiofly, RØDE Microphones, Perfect Pitch Publishing, Sonic Lolly,Berklee, Diskbank, Firestarter, State Of The Art Festival and more.
