NZ On Air Congratulates The Winners Of The 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards

NZ On Air proudly congratulates all the winners and finalists of the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards (AMA), held last night at the Viaduct Events Centre in Tāmaki Makaurau. This year’s ceremony marked a significant milestone – celebrating 60 years of the Tūī – and showcased the extraordinary talent and diversity of the music community of Aotearoa.

As a longstanding partner of AMA, NZ On Air is honoured to support this iconic event and to celebrate the depth of artistry that defines our local music scene.

“This year’s winners reflect the incredible breadth of talent in Aotearoa – from genre-defying newcomers to established icons who continue to push boundaries,” says NZ On Air Head of Music, Teresa Patterson. “We are proud to support AMA and this important celebration of local music that resonates with audiences here and around the world.”

NZ On Air acknowledges the many artists supported through its music funding and initiatives, who were recognised across multiple categories at this year’s Aotearoa Music Awards. 80% of winners have been supported by NZ On Air.

“Their success is a testament to the power of authentic storytelling, hard work and dedication to craft and the importance of funding and support across the music ecosystem to ensure a diversity of quality local music for audiences,” says Patterson.
