THE first round of ARIA Awards nominations confirms Australian musicians are more than just singers with Chet Faker and Sia being recognised for other creative talents.
Nick Murphy, who records as Chet Faker, has picked up a nomination for Producer Of The Year for his breakthrough debut album Built on Glass.
As ARIA reveals the nominations for the Fine Arts and Artisan categories, the Built On Glass album has also scored mentions in the Engineer Of The Year and Best Cover Art, confirming Chet Faker will be one of the serious contenders for the 2014 awards.
Sia has enjoyed massive success internationally for her 1000 Forms of Fear album, and is now acknowledged as a designer scoring a Best Cover Art nomination.
The album sleeve features the platinum wig which became the symbol for the release when worn by dancer Maddie Ziegler in the Chandelier video.
