Show Notes
New Zealand music’s big night out took place this week.
The Aotearoa Music Awards celebrated its 60th year, with our biggest musical stars glitzed and glammed for the red carpet.
Taking out two awards this year —Best Solo Artist and the highly coveted Album of the Year— was Fazerdaze, also known as Amelia Murray.
It’s her first time winning an Aotearoa Music Award, and she told Francesca Rudkin when her name was called, she felt weirdly calm.
“It feels kind of like it’s been a really long time coming,” Murray says.
“I’ve been nominated quite a few times before and it was kind of, it was nice to finally take home a trophy.”
