There are many Australian musicians who rose to fame within the Australian music scene.
Artists such as ACDC and more recently Five Seconds of Summer (5SOS) have also climbed the charts in the international music market.

Each artist has their own style as Australian music encompasses virtually all genres of music, from the country styles of Keith Urban to the unforgettable, albeit unusual, rock style of Midnight Oil (pictured above) led by now politician Peter Garrett.
There are also many internationally born artists that are considered Australian music icons and these artists include John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. And with songs like Your the Voice (Farnham) and Working Class Man (Barnes) it is no wonder why these artists are so popular in the Australian charts.
The Australian music industry, while not as prominent as the American or influx of overseas DJ's, has a lot to offer. So next time you chooses to listen to any of these artists as well as the many more Australian artists, you can be sure that you are contributing to the Australian music industry, helping it to survive and thrive in a very difficult industry.
