Twenty-year old NT singer Jessica Mauboy won the first award at last night's 2009 ARIA Awards, held at the Acer Arena in Sydney. She won 'Highest Selling Single' for 'Running Back' from her commercially successful debut album, 'Been Waiting'. Although only winning one award from seven nominations, she told a news conference afterwards, " I was just happy to be there to be able to perform... be there with familiar faces, so no I don’t feel disappointed at all.”
The award tops off a massive year for the NT dance diva, who also took out two gongs at this year's NT Indigenous Music Awards, three Deadlys and last week 'Fave Aussie Singer' at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. Congratulations JM!
