Melbourne's future soul outfit Hiatus Kaiyote, twice-nominated in previous years in the Best R & B Performance category, featured on the track Duckworth. on Kendrick Lamar's landmark Damn., winner of Best Rap Album. The group have a songwriting credit thanks to the use of their song Atari on the album's epic closer.
And, while not an official winner, Kesha's searing performance of her single Praying, won with its powerful message.
The song got its start in a Melbourne studio when US producer Ryan Lewis - on tour for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - paired up with singer-songwriter Ben Abraham to write and produce the song specifically for Kesha.
Abraham told Double J that with just four days notice he was booked on a plane to join Kesha's band on keys for the performance, which also featured vocals from Cyndi Lauper, Andra Day, Julia Michaels, Bebe Rexha, and Camila Cabello.
Congratulations to the winners, the nominees, and the songwriters who played a vital role across a diverse range of works.
