The 2017 APRA Awards nominees are in. And not surprisingly, it’s Flume who leads the nominations pack with a total of four nods.
Flume (real name Harley Streten) is nominated for his single ‘Never Be Like You’ in both the Most Played Australian Work and Dance Work Of The Year categories.
But he’ll be battling some fierce competition for both awards; he’s up against himself with his other smash ‘Say It’.
Sia is another act with multiple nods in this year’s categories. She’s nominated for Pop Work Of The Year for both ‘Alive’ and ‘Cheap Thrills’, while the latter will also compete in the Most Played Australian Work category.
Celebrating and championing excellence in contemporary music, the 35th APRA Music Awards will take place at the ICC Theatre in Sydney on Monday April 03.
