"New Tribe Music will be a new home for a diverse roster of talented Australian artists to be showcased to the world.”

123 Agency, which represents Tash Sultana, Kingswood and many more, has struck a joint venture recording label partnership with Sony Music Australia.

"123 Music is an exciting venture that will enable the diversification and development of a talented roster of Australian artists."

Amy received the news just minutes before playing Splendour on Saturday.
