ARIA Collab

ARIA Collab is a hit-making new initiative designed to propel Australian talent to the global stage through exclusive, high-impact collaborations with internationally renowned music producers.

An ongoing series of immersive, week-long recording sessions in state-of-the-art studios, ARIA Collab will select five Australian artists per program to collaborate with some of the most innovative figures in modern music production, with the goal of creating and releasing export-ready, cross-border hits.

ARIA Collab will begin in Melbourne from 3 to 7 March, featuring groundbreaking producer WondaGurl, responsible for Rihanna’s Bitch Better Have My Money and Travis Scott’s Antidote.

Next, Collab will come to Sydney from 31 March to 4 April with Tommy Brown, the GRAMMY-winning producer of hits like Arianna Grande’s 7 Rings and Thank U, Next.

The program has been made possible with support from Music Australia, ensuring equitable access for participating artists and teams.

The program’s benefits extend beyond the studio, with ARIA Talks sessions providing educational and networking opportunities for the wider music community. By fostering diversity, inclusion, and cross-border collaborations, ARIA Collab not only uplifts artists but also strengthens Australia’s presence in the global music market.

Applications open Monday, 9 December 2024, and close Friday, 31 January 2025.

Successful artists announced Monday, 17 February 2025.
