Drifting Clouds will play at the NIMAs in 2025
Taking out the Unearthed competition winning spot to play at the National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs), put your hands together for…
Drifting Clouds
Meet the artist who only has one song out, but hundreds of thousands of views online, tens of thousands of monthly listeners on streaming services, multiple triple j staff five star reviews on the Unearthed website and a follow from the Troye Sivan (!!!)
Project of Yolngu musician Terry Guyula, this force of nature first caught our attention through his debut upload just a few weeks ago.
Singing in his first language, Liyawulma'mirr-Djambarrpuyngu his song 'Bawuypawuy' is not only closely aligned to who he is as an artist but ultimately, who he is as a person.
Blowing us away with its uniqueness, character and charm, it rained in multiple glowing reviews on the triple j Unearthed website amongst plenty of stars also.
It's a project rooted in intentionalism.
Creating music for his background and story 'who I am, where I come from,' Drifting Clouds exists to 'make people feel love, power, spiritual' and above all… 'happy'.
With plenty of live experience under his belt, Drifting Clouds is more than ready to enchant the NIMAs audience with his magic.
It's the event that brought Thelma Plum to tears in 2023; 11 years after winning the triple j Unearthed competition to play at the event, she won the award for Album Of The Year .
Who knows, maybe Drifting Clouds could be at the start of writing a similar story?
We can't wait to watch history in the making!

Channel 7 news reporter and AFL player separate after 12 years
Former Swans star Jeremy Laidler and Channel 7 reporter Amber Laidler have reportedly called it quits after 12 years together. The adorable couple in 2022 celebrated the birth of their first child, Will. As first reported by The Daily Telegraph, the pair have quietly, amicably separated, but are still living together in the same family home with their son. A quick glance at their social media posts suggests there appears to have been issues between the pair dating back several years. The former Swans player-turned assistant coach has not featured on Amber's Instagram page since December, 2023. Amber has not been seen on the 35-year-old former defender's Instagram page since November, 2023. According to the report, Amber, 32, has not been wearing her wedding ring in recent months. It is a sad end to a relationship that has stretched back to 2013, when they were first described in news reports as a 'hot new item'. They were married in 2017 in a glamorous event attended by several Swans teammates, including former co-captain Kieren Jack and his partner Charlotte Goodlet, a fellow news presenter and former model. Amber, whose maiden name is Greasley, has become a popular presenter at the Seven Network and has built a career in journalism after winning Miss World Australia in 2011. She previously worked behind the scenes at 7News before taking up her role as an on-air reporter. The footballer, meanwhile, finished his playing career in 2017, having played 87 games across nine seasons in the AFL. He previously played for Geelong and Carlton before making the move to the Swans. The highly-rated assistant coach left the Swans at the end of 2022 to make a move to rivals GWS.

City-Bay 2025: Registrations are open for Adelaide's biggest fun run
When Stafford Wulff was diagnosed with pancreatic and bowel cancer in 2020, he decided to raise money and awareness for the charities that supported him. So he and a few mates registered for some running events, including the virtual London marathon, True Grit Challenge and the Starlight Children's Foundation Go Big Challenge. They raised nearly $35,000 and had planned to continue the running tradition in the 2022 City-Bay fun run. Tragically, Mr Wulff died a few months before that event, but his mates decided to continue their plans and run the City-Bay – but with a twist. All self-confessed Marvel movie nerds, the group had dressed as their favourite super heroes for a party to mark the 12-month anniversary of Mr Wulff's diagnosis. And so after he died in April, 2022, they decided to celebrate his life by running the City-Bay wearing the same costumes. They'll be back this year doing the same, and friend Sam Driver said it was a fitting tribute to a man taken too soon at the age of just 40. 'He was the friendly face in the room that everyone knew,' Mr Driver said. 'It didn't matter how big or small your day had been – he had time for everyone and made sure that he was always present. He went out of his way to ring you up. 'He just knew where your interests were and he was just 'on' with making sure that he was going to keep it up and keep the connections going.'
