Two of Indigenous music’s big stars – the late Gurrumul, and rising star Baker Boy, are the winners of Australia’s biggest celebration of First Nations music.

Gurrumul was honoured as Artist of the Year while his posthumous masterpiece, Djarimirri (Child of The Rainbow) picked up Album of the Year. Its title track was crowned Song of the Year, completing the trifecta of the night’s key awards. 

The Northern Territory’s Baker Boy was the night’s other big winner, taking home Video of the Year for his hit ‘Marryuna’.
