Two notable artists from New South Wales' Central Coast, Ninajirachi and Boy Soda, are set to play significant roles at the ARIA Awards.

Ninajirachi's debut album, 'I Love My Computer,' released in August, was largely completed in 2025. She described the creative process as intensely focused, leading to significant personal growth and new experiences.

He described the LP as a cathartic process, encouraging listeners to release pressure and embrace their own experiences. The ARIA Awards ceremony streams live on November 19.
