2024 APRA Music Awards nominees announced: Paul Kelly, Troye Sivan, Tex Perkins, and more

APRA AMCOS has revealed the nominees for this year’s APRA Music Awards, with seasoned vets rubbing shoulders with new artists, plus a brand-new category for hard rock and heavy metal songwriters.


Sarah Aarons leads the charge with three nominees: Most Performed Australian Work, Most Performed Pop Work, and the Peer-Voted APRA Song of the Year with Therapy (co-written with Ajay Bhattacharyya) performed by Budjerah.

Aarons has heavy competition in the APRA Song of the Year category: Paul Kelly and the late David McComb for If Not Now, (which sees Kelly sing a few bars of McComb’s Wide Open Road’ towards the end, hence his posthumous nod), Angie McMahon with Letting Go, Troye Sivan for Rush (with co-writer Styalz Fuego), and G Flip and co-writer Aidan Hogg for The Worst Person Alive.
