23-year-old First Nations singer, songwriter and producer Sycco has won the J Award for triple j’s Australian Album of the Year with her shimmering debut full-length, Zorb.

triple j Music Director Nick Findlay says “On her long-awaited debut album Zorb, Sycco created a blissful, psychedelic, and distinct sonic world of her own, celebrating friendship, lamenting heartbreak, and diving headfirst into the beautiful chaos of your early twenties.”

“It’s a record that perfectly captures Sycco’s incredibly unique take on songwriting and production, which has helped her stand tall as one of Australia’s best young artists.”

triple j says Sasha McLeod, aka Sycco, is at the forefront of another exceptional year for local music, highlighted by the incredibly high calibre of nominees across this year’s J Awards.

“Congratulations to all the winners, and all the artists nominated, who help shine a spotlight on the amazing talent we are so lucky to celebrate coming out of this country.”
