Music Victoria is proud to welcome you back to our regular bi-monthly segment, Pathways to Success: Awarding Winning Stories, where we highlight some of the best talent that Victoria has to offer, our amazing Music Victoria Awards winners.

This month we are honoured to welcome 2021 Music Victoria Awards Best Breakthrough Act, Maple Glider. She will be joined by Victorian-based musician and record label owner Jo Syme of Pieater, whose roster includes #1 Dads and Airling.

These sessions are here to offer a chance to chat to the artists and a member of their team, to hear their stories and how they have achieved success.

Live from the brand new home of the Victorian music industry, Music Market, join us for a hybrid in person/online event, with a FREE lunch provided.
