Sia has taken home the APRA Song of the Year for the third time and A{RA Awards are also heading the way of Sheppard, Angus & Julia Stone, Gotye and Five Seconds Of Summer.
The 2015 APRA Awards were handed out in Sydney. APRA AMCOS CEO Brett Cottle said, “Sia is the first songwriter in the history of the APRA Music Awards to win the Songwriter of the Year three years in a row. This is an unprecedented, and very likely, a never-to-be-repeated achievement by one of our most talented songwriters. Sia has been an APRA member since 1996 and was a co-winner of the inaugural Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year Award in 2002. Since then she has become one of the most successful and acclaimed songwriters of her era. We’re incredibly proud of her achievements and honoured to represent her.”
