Aboriginal singer-songwriter Budjerah was named Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist for his eponymous debut EP, with Ed Sheeran announcing the award by video and paying tribute to the late Gudinski, founder of Mushroom Records. Best Video went to Vance Joy's Missing Piece, directed by Annelise Hickey. Song of the Year was given to Booster Seat by Spacey Jane, which boasts a female bass player, Peppa Lane, alongside lead singer and guitarist Caleb Harper, drummer Kieran Lama and guitarist Ashton Hardman-Le Cornu. Grammy-nominated dance music trio Rufus Du Sol won in both their nominated categories, Best Dance Release and Best Group, for single Alive. From a total of 27 categories, the only local solo female artist to pick up an ARIA was Zimbabwean-born Australian singer-songwriter and rapper Tkay Maidza, who took out Best Soul/R&B Release for her EP Last Year Was Weird, Vol. The kid Laroi and Owusu were among a male-dominated winners list for the 2021 awards. "A big shout out to my brother Justin Bieber for being a part of this record and helping me make it so special," he said after claiming the award.

The 18-year-old Sydneysider also scored Best Pop Release for his three-time-platinum single, Stay. "But all the people I loved and respected always stood firm, immovable, unshakeable, because we knew the power in all we were and what we created." Baby-faced rapper The Kid Laroi was named Best Artist. "I used to get side-eyed a lot when I was younger for the way I dressed and the things I did," he said at the award ceremony. And, along with Bailey Howard, he also received the ARIA for Best Cover Art. The singer and rapper collected trophies on Wednesday including Best Hip Hop Release and Best Independent Release for his title Smiling With No Teeth.
#RUFUS HANNAH FREE#
Interestingly, it was after Hannah met Soper, that he and his best friend Donnie Brennan got caught up in the Bumfights videos, lured in with cash, booze and free cigarettes.Hip-hop artist Genesis Owusu has claimed four ARIAs, including Album of the Year, at the 2021 music awards. “I started to see them as human beings,” Soper said. Urged by a neighbor to help the transients rather than run them off, Soper hired the two to do odd jobs around the complex.

“You’re ruining our canning route,” Hannah snapped back. When he caught Hannah inside the Dumpster that morning, he got mad. Soper, 65, doesn’t usually pay much attention to his trash receptacles, but someone had defecated next to this particular one a day earlier, so he was watchful. Hannah and his best friend were there looking for aluminum cans they could turn into cash, and ultimately into booze. At a Dumpster outside the complex, to be exact. They met on a summer day 11 years ago at one of the complexes, in San Carlos. Soper, a Jew, was born in Massachusetts and earned a sociology degree from the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut before coming to San Diego and buying a string of rental-housing complexes. He dropped out of high school, had five kids with three different women.

Hannah was born and raised in Georgia, an upbringing that was Baptist in principle and alcoholic in practice.
