Adelaide hit maker Sia takes home four awards, with Chet Faker, Hilltop Hoods also scoring
Having just today being named the most influential female in Australian Music in the AMID Power 50 list, Aussie superstar Sia has taken out four awards at this evening’s ARIA Awards.
The international success gained by the Adelaide singer-songwriter has been recognised on home soil as she claims Album Of The Year, Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release and Best Video, all off the back of this year’s smashing 1000 Forms Of Fear album.
Electronic indie artist Chet Faker has also taken out multiple awards, walking away with Best Male Artist and Best Independent Release, while other globe-trotting outfits 5 Seconds Of Summer (Song Of The Year), Sheppard (Best Group) and Iggy Azalea (Breakthrough Artist) received accolades for a big year.
With Sheppard teaming up with Melbourne Ska Orchestra for their ARIA performance, as well as live music from Best Rock Album winner Dan Sultan, and Best Adult Contemporary Album winners Paul Kelly and Neil Finn, and guest presenter Katy Perry, the evening was massive.
