Triple j have announced the 2019 J Award nominees in their 15th annual year, with the winners set to be announced by the j’s own Veronica & Lewis on Thursday, November 21 from 4pm.
The J Awards are perhaps the pinnacle of Ausmusic Month, and a chance to celebrate our homegrown artists’ originality, creativity and technical excellence. This year introducing the You Done Good award, it’ll be awarded to someone who has made an impact on the industry through outstanding achievement, social change or altruistic endeavours.
We’d like to congratulate all artists that made the list with special mentions to WA favourites Stella Donnelly for Australian Album of the Year, along with Spacey Jane (pictured above) for Unearthed Artist of the Year.
While there’s a shortage of WA names, and it’s surprising to see the likes of Pond and Methyl Ethel missing the cut, here’s a look at some of the other nominees:
