Sia 'scooped' songwriter of the year at last night's APRA awards

  • June 24, 2014
  • Brad O'Mance

SiaPerformance art enabler Sia was awarded the song­writer of the year award at last night's APRA Awards.

(APRA stands for Australasian Performing Right Association, obviously.)

The award — pre­vi­ously won by the likes of Savage Garden, Gotye and Jet — was in recog­ni­tion of the fact that she's basically written most of the songs in the charts and it's actually the second con­sec­ut­ive year she's 'scooped' the honour, a feat never achieved before.

She wasn't on hand to accept the award — obviously — but here's her accept­ance speech thing non­ethe­less.

Other winners included Lorde (out­stand­ing inter­na­tional achieve­ment), while 'Blurred Lines' was awarded for inter­na­tional work of the year.
