The Kid LAROI is growing up before our very eyes. The teenage Sydney born-and-raised singer, songwriter and producer earned his first APRA Award nomination this year, becoming the youngest nominee of his crop. He converted that chance into gold, taking out breakthrough songwriter of the year.
It s the latest industry accolade for an artist who s apparently on a rocket to the top. LAROI (real name Charlton Howard) recently set the record as the youngest ever leader (age 17) on the ARIA Albums Chart with

Joy McKean, Australia’s “queen of country,” is the 2021 recipient of the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music, one of the highest accolades in the nation s music industry.
It’s a fitting tribute for McKean, who paved the way for generations of homegrown country artists over a career spanning upwards of 70 years.
The trailblazing country singer and songwriter first made her mark in the 1940s and ‘50s, working alongside her sister Heather as the McKean Sisters and created an enduring partnership in life and music with her husband Slim Dusty, writing many of his most famous songs. She also managed the late country great for more than 50 years, and co-founded the Country Music Association of Australia in 1992.
