Queensland Music Awards 2016 Winners List

Violent Soho have picked up Song of the Year at the Queensland Music Awards.

QMusic’s Executive Officer Joel Edmondson said, “Time and again, the Queensland Music Awards prove that Queensland produces some of Australia’s most talented and exciting musicians. Although there can only be one winner in each category, the depth of talent that the QMAs have unearthed this year is staggering. The format consistently proves that opening the application process to the general public creates a space for unknown gems to shine. This year was also a great chance to create new ways of celebrating the commercial success of Queensland musicians around the world.”
