Introducing the 2020
J AWARD
nominees…
.
.
2020 has been a year like no other, but what has remained consistent is the continuous output of incredible local music. The music community are often the first to offer help in a crisis, despite themselves being some of the hardest hit. So this year as we celebrate the originality, creativity and technical excellence of the Australian artists and community in the J Awards, we recognise these achievements occurred at a time of great social change, which you can see reflected in a lot of their work.
Without further ado, please give a huge congratulations to the 2020 J Award nominees:

AMNPLIFY – DB
CLICK ON THE PIC TO SEE THE NEWS
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
