Producer Mathas has won the Grand Prize for WAM Song Of The Year, taking home his prize at last night's awards.
The beat-maker/rapper was awarded the honour for his track Nourishment, which features the vocals of Perth singer Abbe May. Mathas also scooped up the awards for best electronic and urban/hip hop songs - for Nourishment as well.
For his Grand Prize win, Mathas also receives a $3,000 cash prize, recording time at Sydney's Albert Studios, a mentoring session with Albert's Creative Services team and mastering session with James Hewgill Music. He'll also get 500 of his cds pressed, an opportunity to take up a publishing deal with Perfect Pitch, an online music course and a RODE microphones package. Phew!
But that's all - he'll also perform at the AGWA Nights Finale as the opener to Bob Evans and take the stage at the WA Music Awards, WA Export Showcase and next year's WAM festivals.
