ARIA Collab is a hit-making new initiative designed to propel Australian talent to the global stage through exclusive, high-impact collaborations with internationally renowned music producers.
In a series of immersive, week-long recording sessions in state-of-the-art studios, ARIA Collab selected five Australian artists per program to collaborate with some of the most innovative figures in modern music production, with the goal of creating and releasing export-ready, cross-border hits.
ARIA Collab 2025 began in Melbourne in March, and featured groundbreaking producer WondaGurl, responsible for Rihanna’s Bitch Better Have My Money and Travis Scott’s Antidote.
Next, ARIA Collab brought Tommy Brown, the GRAMMY-winning producer of hits like Arianna Grande’s 7 Rings and Thank U, Next to Sydney.
The program has been made possible with support from Music Australia, ensuring equitable access for participating artists and teams.
The program’s benefits extend beyond the studio, with ARIA Talks sessions providing educational and networking opportunities for the wider music community. These can be viewed below. By fostering diversity, inclusion, and cross-border collaborations, ARIA Collab not only uplifts artists but also strengthens Australia’s presence in the global music market.
