02 August 2015 - 0 Comments
APRA AMCOS and Recorded Music NZ are all wiggly with excitement to announce the winners for the 2015 New Zealand Children’s Music Awards – celebrating music written for children.
The awards were presented live this morning (Sunday 2 August) on TV2’s What Now by last year’s double winner, songstress Anika Moa.
The big winner from the awards was FleaBITE,
who took home two awards – the Recorded Music Best Childrens’ Music
Album (Tui Award) for The Jungle is Jumping, and
the What Now Best Children’s Music Video Award for Don’t
Sit Under the Poo Tree, created by Stephen Templer and Ross
Payne.
“FleaBite consistently make wonderful music and The Jungle is Jumping is
another excellent record for young ones.” says Recorded Music NZ’s Damian
Vaughan “A finely crafted collection of kids songs that also showcases a
fantastic range of musical styles.”
The APRA Best Children’s Music Song was won by Levity Beet and Daniel
Stryczek for their song There’s One in the Bush, a laid
back earworm about Aotearoa’s native dinosaur, the Tuatara.
Multi-instrumentalist and all round clever dude Levity also takes home the
inaugural NZ On Air children’s music grant – a $10,000 grant for the recording
of a song and a music video.
“Levity’s songs are loved by kids everywhere and this one is a cracker!” says
APRA AMCOS’ Anthony Healey “We are thrilled that in partnership with NZ On Air
more music for children will grace the airwaves.”
