WAM are the peak music body in WA responsible for supporting, nurturing and growing all forms of original, contemporary music

WAM’s mission is championing WA music.

We are the not-for-profit, peak music body in Western Australia responsible for supporting, nurturing and growing all forms of original, contemporary music. WAM’s vision is to create an environment where West Australian artists can thrive, where their music is celebrated as diverse and unique, and the community can engage in the artform readily and easily.

To achieve this vision, WAM executes a range of key activities across the year that strategically and actively promote and showcase West Australian musical talent, exposing WA artists to industry influencers and decision makers, and provide avenues to grow audiences for their music.

The currency of WAM is undisputed: when Australian music sensation Gotye in his Grammy nomination speech, noted “I’m not from Western Australia, so a nomination for a WAMi remains a distant dream. But three Grammy nominations are pretty good too.”
