Emily Wurramara wins Artist of the Year at 2025 National Indigenous Music Awards
Warnindhilyagwa singer-songwriter Emily Wurramara has taken out Artist of the Year at the 2025 National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs). Jessica Mauboy and Troy Cassar-Daley led a star-studded line-up of performers, as the country's top First Nations musical acts were recognised by their peers on Larrakia country in Darwin. Mauboy was also inducted into the NIMAs Hall of Fame during the ceremony, joining the likes of Australian musical legends from Yothu Yindi to Ruby Hunter. Wurramara also won the Music Clip of the Year Award for her sultry, hypnotic track Lordy Lordy featuring Tasman Keith, shot on Larrakia country and Gadigal country. The track, which she wrote in the wake of the 2023 Voice referendum, features Red Flag dancers from Numbulwar, NT. It's been a huge year for the artist, who released her second studio album NARA in August and became the first Indigenous woman to win Best Contemporary Album at the 2024 ARIAs. Eight-piece Yolŋu funk outfit, Andrew Gurruwiwi Band — named for its Galpu clan lead singer — was also amongst the night's big winners, taking out Best New Talent and Song of the Year for Once Upon a Time. Gurruwiwi, aged in his 50s, turned to music after losing his sight in an accident in 1998, and now mentors young Yolŋu musicians in the region. Last year's Artist of the Year winner, Malyangapa and Barkindji hip hop talent BARKAA took out Album of the Year for her second album Big Tidda, which celebrates her resilience and determination triumphing over an ice addiction and jail time. Just days ago, BARKAA's mother Cleonie Quayle won a National Indigenous Fashion Award in Darwin for a dress she made for BARKAA's We Up music video, which symbolised her recovery journey. The Bulman School and surrounding community, which were nominated for three songs in the category of Community Clip of the Year, won for their track Crocodile Style. It's the second year in a row the Northern Territory community has taken out the award.

Billie Eilish Thanks Her Fans For Support While Accepting AMA for Artist of the Year
Billie Eilish walked away with the artist of the year award at the 2025 American Music Awards, and in a remote acceptance speech, graciously thanked her fans for allowing her to make music. Jon Batiste awarded Eilish the artist of the year plaque at the AMAs on Monday (May 26) night, and in a heartfelt video message, she shouted out her supporters for showing love to her.

'I feel speechless, thank you all so much I love you so much. I wish I could be there tonight, I'm on tour, getting to see you all over the world. Thank you to the AMAs, thank you to the fans, I know you voted for this. This means the world to me. I am so lucky to get to do what I do, and to do it with you! I love you all so much, thank you guys.' Eilish had to accept the award virtually because she's on tour in Europe, where she made waves online thanks to a stunning performance of Radiohead's 'Creep' in Amsterdam. Earlier in May, Eilish delivered a rendition of the rock band's signature hit, accompanied by two backup vocalists and an electric guitar player. However, the musician spotted something in the distance that caused her to laugh, and she was unable to stop. Still, the haunting performance was well received by everyone in the audience. Check out the full speech below. The American Music Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.
