ANTHONY Callea will be one of the most famous faces on stage at the 2005 ARIA Awards tomorrow night but 18 months ago, no one knew his name. That is the flavour of this year's ARIAs, the annual celebration of everything great and good in the Australian music industry.
This year's list of award contenders is made up largely of newcomers who are hoping that a few trophies collected at the Sydney Superdome will be the catalyst for a lengthy career. Among them is Callea, 22, last year's Australian Idol runner-up who has topped the singles and album charts in the past six months. His self-titled debut album is up for best selling album.
The leading contender, with seven nominations, is Melbourne singer-songwriter Missy Higgins, on the back of her debut album The Sound of White.
Bondi's pop bard Ben Lee and Kiwi rock siblings Evermore have five nominations, while Sydney singer Sarah Blasko has four.
With a handful of other new faces in the running, 2005 is shaping up to be a break from the usual ARIA celebration of the mainstream.
