2022 Queensland Music Awards!

The 2022 Queensland Music Awards were nothing short of spectacular! We spent the night celebrating and honouring Queensland's brightest musicians in the iconic Fortitude Music Hall. 

The night was full of incredible wins. The indie rock group, The Jungle Giants, took home Album Of The Year for their massive album, Love Signs. Indi pop icon, Amy Shark, won the Highest Selling Album for Cry Forever. The fairy trap goth, Zheani, snatched Emerging Artist Of The Year. 

The cherry on top of the musical cake was presenting the incredible Sycco with the Song Of The Year award for the second year in a row! Her hit song My Ways saw her make music history, being the first person to win Song Of The Year and the Pop Award back-to-back at the QMAs. 

Even after everything from the past two years, it is incredible to think that so much wonderful music and talent has risen out of Queensland. Music binds us, inspires us and makes us appreciate the little but significant moments in our lives. 

A big thank you to all the fantastic nominees, performers, winners and the Q-Music team for an unforgettable year in music wrapped up into one memorable night!
