Just moments ago, triple j’s Ben & Liam snuck into Faith Lutheran College in South Australia to surprise year 11 student George Alice with some lifechanging news: that the 16-year-old solo artist had won triple j’s Unearthed High competition for 2019!
George Alice uploaded her debut single ‘Circles’ to Unearthed High and with one swift stroke blew the triple j Unearthed team away. TBH, with the quality of her song writing, it comes as no surprise that the remarkable teen has been writing original music and honing her craft since she was eleven years old. Her skilful pop song writing has now scored her a place among Unearthed High alumni whose careers continue to grow and grow, including Gretta Ray, KIAN, Arno Faraji, Japanese Wallpaper and more.
Dave Ruby Howe, triple j Unearthed Music Director, says “In a wickedly competitive field this year, South Australian student George Alice made her voice heard with, well, that voice! After discovering her debut track ‘Circles’ in the 2019 Unearthed High campaign it’s been impossible to dislodge the way she sings that circular refrain from our heads. In George Alice we’ve found a prolific performer and writer, and we reckon that this 16 year old is ready for very big things.”
George Alice’s prize includes being flown to triple j to record, mix and master her music, which will be played on triple j and triple j Unearthed. She’ll also be linked up with a musical mentor and she’ll find out who that is when she joins Veronica & Lewis from 3pm today.
Shout out to the Unearthed High class of 2019 for warming our hearts and proving yet again that the future of Australian music is in safe hands. Keep your eyes on finalists Debbies, MALi JO$E, Nick Ward, Tulliah and our Indigenous Initiative winner Aodhan, who’ve got big things ahead of them.

triple j Unearthed – discover the best new Australian music
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.
