This list details Australian musicians, performers, producers and composers that have been successful in winning aGrammy Award. Many on the list have also been inducted into the Australian Recording Industry AssociationARIA Hall of Fame.[1]
A Grammy Award (originally called Gramophone Award) – or Grammy – is an accolade by theNational Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to recognise outstanding achievement in the music industry. The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on 4 May 1959, and it was set up to honour musical accomplishments by performers for the year 1958.
Australian musicians and performers have produced a wide variety of popular music which has been commercially successful on the international scene.[2][3] However, success at the Grammy Awards has been quite rare for Australian musicians. The first Australian to win a Grammy wasJoan Sutherland in 1961. The most successful Australians (all of whom were not born in Australia) areThe Bee Gees,Olivia Newton-John andKeith Urban who have won 4 Grammy Awards each.
Best New Artist is awarded to a promising breakthrough performer who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording that establishes the public identity of that artist (which is not necessarily their first proper release).
