The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) is excited to announce that the APRA AMCOS Ambassador joining the lineup for its 2018 national conference is one of Australia’s leading voices in Indigenous music, Emily Wurramara.

Emily grew up in remote Groote Eylandt in the Gulf of Carpentaria before moving to Brisbane to pursue her natural talent for music. Emily’s 2016 EP ‘Black Smoke’, which featured stunning stories sung both in English and Wurramara's traditional language Anindilyakwa, garnered critical acclaim, as well as racking up 1 million Spotify streams and spending 10 weeks in the CBAA's Amrap Charts.

This year, she has released her debut album 'Milyakburra' and celebrated with a sell-out national tour.

The CBAA is thrilled to have Emily entertain and educate its delegation of community broadcasters from all over Australia at the Gold Coast Exhibition Centre in November, with thanks to APRA AMCOS.

Don't miss the opportunity to experience the amazing voice of Emily Wurramara, as well as the rest of the action-packed program. Snap up your earlybird tickets to the CBAA conference before they close on Monday, 3 September.

Emily's latest single is Lady Blue. Community broadcasters can access this track for airplay on Amrap's AirIt.
