Australian Music Scene

Australian music is derived from its environmental and cultural aspects of the Australian life. The Indigenous Music of Australia literally uses the environment to create sounds and coordinate all of it to come up with music. The large migrant population of Australia also contributed to the definition of Australian music as well.

Australian musicians have their own unique Australian approach on their music which is largely recognized in the international arena of music all over the world. Some of the musicians that contributed to the amazing musical heritage of Australia are the opera singer Dame Nellie Melba, Composers Percy Grainger and Peter Sculthorpe, Bands like the seekers, Inxs, Yothu Yindi, and country singers like Slim Dusty and Keith Urban.
