The 50 most influential people in the Australian music industry.
Bill Cullen on right
Prior to co-founding One Louder in 2000, Bill Cullen had worked with artists like Crowded House, OMC, PJ Harvey, Billy Bragg and more. Cullen was a co-founder of Heavenly Sounds (a touring circuit that took place in churches and cathedrals with acts like Seeker Lover Keeper, Michael Kiwanuka and more), has been a member of PPCA since 2004 and was the founding chairperson for the Association Of Artist Managers (AAM).
It’ll be a long time before anyone forgets Kate Miller-Heidke's spectacular Eurovision Song Contest performance. While she may not have taken out the trophy, the Australian artist - managed by Cullen - certainly won over crowds around the world with her breathtaking execution of Zero Gravity. It also earned Miller-Heidke the title of being the only person to have the unique combination of having performed at Eurovision, Coachella and the New York Metropolitan Opera.
Miller-Heidke is in great company with the rest of Cullen’s roster; Alex The Astronaut, Ball Park Music and Paul Kelly. Kelly enjoyed a successful year too - securing his third straight #1 album with his latest Songs From The South: Greatest Hits 1985–2019 compilation and continuing the much-loved Making Gravy concert series for another year (this time with Courtney Barnett, Miller-Heidke, Marlon Williams and Thelma Plum joining the line-up).
