Since their inception five years ago the J Awards have become one of the most respected in the industry Richard Kingsmill, triple j Music Director said of Blasko’s win, “It’s been fantastic watching Sarah’s career build over the last 7 years. We’ve admired the way she’s carved her own niche in an industry that often supports bands more than it does solo artists. Her latest album is another solid body of work that has heard her diversify her song writing and incorporate some great new elements. She’s pure class and she thoroughly deserves this award.”
