Over the course of her career, Ngaiire has earned four National Live Music Awards, an Australian Music Prize and AIR Award nominations, and the inaugural Australian Women in Music Award for Artistic Excellence.

"It’s really exciting to finally have a small but incredibly dedicated army of people to help carry this project," the singer said in a statement.

"What means even more is that Dot Dash came to the table really wanting this partnership and have already shown how fearless they are about taking on an artist that has never really fit the moulds – so you know we bout to shift gears now."
