There's gotta be something in Brisbane's water to be producing the wealth of talent it has been over the past 12 months, with singer-songwriter Robbie Miller following Thelma Plum's lead in winning the triple j Unearthed NIMA competition for 2013!
The 24 year old, descendant of the Anangu Pitjantjara Yankunyjatjara people, hails from Biloela and is a recent graduate of QUT. With a debut EP set for release later in the year, Miller's career is only going upwards from here, we're sure of it. Miller was chosen from a pool of over 650 songs submitted by artists for this competition, a number signifying the growth in the interest of the competition and the strength of the connection the NIMA's and triple j have.
Miller will fly to Darwin for the National Indigenous Music Awards in August and perform alongside current Indigenous stars including Gurrumul, Shellie Morris, Kahl Wallace and Jhindu Lawrie from The Medics, and more. For more info, check out nima.musicnt.com.au.
The AU Review congratulates Robbie and wishes him all the best for the rest of the year to come - no doubt, like Thelma Plum before him, we'll be seeing his name around the place more from now on!
