Kuren wins triple j Unearthed NIMA competition

18 year old producer Kuren is the 2016 winner of the triple j Unearthed National Indigenous Music Awards competition.
 
Kuren, aka Curtis Kennedy, of the Wiradjuri people, grew up in the 1500-strong town of Hillston in regional NSW, before moving to Sydney to work on his music. 

After first spotting him via the Unearthed High campaign, he was marked as one of ‘10 Artists to Watch in 2016’ by triple j Unearthed. Ever since, he’s been busy delivering on that promise.

A stellar debut EP and some impressive collaborations with AlldaySophie Lowe and Banks have the triple j team excited about what he’s going to do next.
 
He will be flying to Darwin to perform at the National Indigenous Music Awards ceremony on Saturday 6 August, following in the footsteps of previous winners like Thelma PlumPhillyRobbie Miller and Zane Francis.
