After a cross-country search, the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Music Office (NATSIMO) has chosen Amanda Davis, who performs under the name Dyagula, to undertake its Screen Composer Intensive this year.
Indigenous composers and musicians account for less than one 1 per cent of screen composers nationally. As such, over the past year the Australian Guild of Screen Composers (AGSC) and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Music Office (NATISMO) have been working together to try to create pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders composers to enter the industry.
