Thelma Plum is a Gamilaraay woman, musician and creator from Brisbane Australa, Thelma Plum’s debut album Better In Blak is a story about culture, heritage, love, and pain. With incredible strength, courage and heartbreaking tenderness, the album captured deftly what it’s like to be a young Aboriginal woman in Australia, while also managing to sport a co-write with Paul McCartney! Better in Blak became one of the most successful Australian albums of 2019, nominated for 7 Arias and spawning 3 Platinum and one Gold singles. The title track “Better in Blak” came in the top 10 of the Triple J Hottest 100, as well as winning the prestigious Vanda and Young “Song of the Year” award.

2022 saw the Meanjin EP, a love letter to Brisbane supported by extensive national touring, numerous festival appearances and a slew of brand collaborations and fashion engagements. 2023 saw the first music from Thelma’s new album, an incisive bop called “We Don’t Talk About It”, as well as a round of international touring. The world awaits in 2024!
