Freo.Social played host to this year’s WAM Song of the Year ceremony last night, showcasing the talents of Western Australian songwriters in celebration of all the state has to offer musically. This year saw Carla Geneve take out the Grand Prize with her song Greg’s Discount Chemist.
Flewnt not only took home Grand Prize Runner-Up for their song Kya Kyana, but also awards for the Outstanding Indigenous and Urban/Hip Hop categories, while Grand Prize Second Runner-Up was awarded to Riley Pearce for his song Elephants.
Past WAMAward winner Odette Mercy played MC for the night, and accompanying her on stage entertainment was provided by award winners Pat Chow, Tara Tiba and Flewnt, nominee Echo Adore, and Rhubarb Records DJs.
