On this episode of Macc n Cheese, host Jess Macc sits down with music executive and founder of the Next Up Music Awards (NUMAs), Milly Petriella, to talk about the future of Australia’s music industry — and why young creatives need more support now than ever.
Backed by Australian icons Sia and Troye Sivan, the NUMAs are a brand-new youth-led music awards initiative designed to celebrate emerging talent in schools while creating real pathways into the music industry through mentorships, internships, live performance opportunities and hands-on experience.
Jess and Milly dive into the inspiration behind the awards, the importance of music education, creating opportunities for the next generation of artists and industry professionals, and why building community in real life matters more than ever in a digital world.
With support from the Australian Government’s Revive Live program and major industry names already on board, the NUMAs are shaping up to be a game-changing movement for young Australian creatives.
A passionate conversation about music, mentorship, creativity and building the future of the industry from the ground up.
