Thelma Plum

"Thelma Plum is a Gamilaraay woman, musician and creator. Raised in Brisbane where she spent many of her childhood years on her Grandparents’ farm in Delungra, a small country town in rural New South Wales. With incredible strength, courage and heartbreaking tenderness, her debut album Better in Blak captured deftly what it’s like to be a young Aboriginal woman in Australia. The album became one of the most successful albums of 2019, nominated for 7 ARIAs and spawning 3 Platinum and one Gold single as well as a passionate fanbase and 200m plus global streams. The title track “Better in Blak” came in the top 10 of the Triple J Hottest 100, the highest result ever for an Indigenous artist at the time, as well as winning the prestigious Vanda and Young “Song of the Year” award. A lockdown EP Meanjin, which was a love letter to Brisbane helped bridge the gap between records, but now finally, the next chapter of Thelma’s extraordinary story is here. I’m Sorry, Now Say It Back debuted #3 on the ARIA Chart."
