We are so proud to announce that JMC Melbourne Student Yirgjhilya has cemented her place as one of 2020's BIGSOUND50!
As an artist in the BIGSOUND50, Yirgjhilya wants to push the boundaries of being an Aboriginal contemporary artist and “create diversity and inclusion in the Australian Music Industry.” Yirgjhilya hopes to give back to the community, provide opportunities for Indigenous youth and positively influence those around her. Ultimately, Yirgjhilya is on the right track to create a musical legacy to travel the world share her story and her message of strength as an Aboriginal Artist and Woman. Check out her single Baganar! Last but not least...

We can't forget about our very own Head of Music in Melbourne, Chris Pickering who is playing with Lydia Fairhall and The She Oaks, another BIGSOUND50 entry emerging in the music scene!
For singer-songwriter Lydia Fairhall singing is an aligning force. Along with The She Oaks, she draws on elements of folk, pop and alt-country to bring listeners to higher realms, inviting them to notice the beauty in the world. “I share these songs because I am deep in humanity and hope that others may find healing and reprieve in my work."
