Drifting Clouds will play at the NIMAs in 2025
This week's Feature Artist doubles up as our 2025 NIMAs Competition winner.
Taking out the Unearthed competition winning spot to play at the National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs), put your hands together for…
Drifting Clouds
Meet the artist who only has one song out, but hundreds of thousands of views online, tens of thousands of monthly listeners on streaming services, multiple triple j staff five star reviews on the Unearthed website and a follow from the Troye Sivan (!!!)
Project of Yolngu musician Terry Guyula, this force of nature first caught our attention through his debut upload just a few weeks ago.
Singing in his first language, Liyawulma'mirr-Djambarrpuyngu his song 'Bawuypawuy' is not only closely aligned to who he is as an artist but ultimately, who he is as a person.
Blowing us away with its uniqueness, character and charm, it rained in multiple glowing reviews on the triple j Unearthed website amongst plenty of stars also.
It's a project rooted in intentionalism.
Creating music for his background and story 'who I am, where I come from,' Drifting Clouds exists to 'make people feel love, power, spiritual' and above all… 'happy'.
With plenty of live experience under his belt, Drifting Clouds is more than ready to enchant the NIMAs audience with his magic.
It's the event that brought Thelma Plum to tears in 2023; 11 years after winning the triple j Unearthed competition to play at the event, she won the award for Album Of The Year .
Who knows, maybe Drifting Clouds could be at the start of writing a similar story?
We can't wait to watch history in the making!
