For International Women’s Day, Double J has released their list of the fifty game-changing women and gender-diverse artists in Australian music.
You can check the list out in full here.
The list includes artists like Biftek, Courtney Barnett, Jess Mauboy, Julia Jacklin, Julia Stone, Kasey Chambers, Kylie Minogue, Meg Mac, Missy Higgins, Olivia Newton-John, Thelma Plum, and Tkay Maidza.
To celebrate the list, which shares the stories and history of the different artists, Double J, triple j and triple j Unearthed are playing 24 hours of songs, stories, and discussion from female and gender diverse artists.
There is also a Fifty Game-Changing Women of Australian Music playlist available on Spotify and Apple Music.
Double J Mornings presenter Zan Rowe said, “to be a game-changer is to leave the world a different place than how you found it. And in doing so, to show those in your wake that they can too.”
“Our list of 50 game-changing women and gender diverse artists captures just some of the incredible creators that have changed the sound and scene in Australian music. From the heavy hitters and quiet achievers, it jumps across time, genre, and geography.”
“All of them have changed the game in some way, and we are indebted to their talent and tenacity. Without them, Australian music would sound very different.”
