ARIA Hall Of Fame

The esteemed accolade will be awarded to the nine-time ARIA Award winner at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, on Gadigal land, celebrating Missy’s legendary career and major influence on Australian music.

Since releasing her debut album The Sound of White in 2004 – a 12-time platinum triumph which spent a total of seven weeks at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart – Missy has gone on to become one of the highest selling singer-songwriters of our era, creating some of Australia’s most loved and recognised songs.

Influenced by a vast range of genres growing up, from R&B and soul to alternative rock, pop, jazz and more; Missy’s career began when her older sister Nicola famously entered her in Triple J’s Unearthed without Missy’s knowledge. The song was All For Believing: originally only written for a school music assignment. It went on to win the competition and kick-started this singular career.
