Thelma Plum is a Gamilaraay woman, musician and creator. She grew up in Brisbane and spent many of her childhood years on her Grandparents’ farm in Delungra, a small country town in rural New South Wales.
She has been making music her whole life and has told one chapter with her debut album Better in Blak a story about culture, heritage, love, and pain. With incredible strength, courage and heartbreaking tenderness, her debut album captures so 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 singles. 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.
The adventure is always. And there is much more to come, and Thelma looks forward to you buckling up and joining her for the ride!
Ok so I found ur music because I was browsing jb hi-fi and I thought u were trisha paytas but then I realised you were a normal lady and then I decided to listen to one of ur songs as an apology for such an atrocious crime I had committed and its actually pretty good damn if ur ever in Melbourne Im coming I'm so sorry for mistaking you for goddamn Trisha Paytas for five seconds of my life I'm not good at recognising faces besides like maybe markiplier
"So what are we thinking for the music video?" "Hot gay guys dancing and horses" "Are you describing one of your dreams again Tilly? You know what, I don't need to know. Hotties and horses it is"
If this song was from the 80’s or 90’s it would be up there with the great songs that represent Australia like great southern land, Solid rock, my island home and many more. Very underrated song.
