Melbourne-born producer Dom Dolla has made history as the first recipient of the ARIA Global Impact Award, a newly introduced honour celebrating Australian artists who achieve major international breakthroughs while shaping global music culture.
Introduced this year, the award highlights artists whose influence extends far beyond national borders. ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd praised Dom’s achievements, noting that he “keeps smashing expectations around what an Australian electronic artist can achieve,” which is why he stood out as the award’s inaugural winner.
This recognition follows one of the busiest and most successful periods of Dom’s career. Throughout the summer, he delivered a packed touring schedule that included a hugely successful residency at the coveted Hï Ibiza. This residency further solidified his global pull and proved his dominance on one of the world’s most competitive dance-music stages.
Alongside his Ibiza season, Dom Dolla continued to headline major festivals, chart internationally, and rack up billions of streams across a catalogue filled with modern dance anthems. His rise reflects both his production versatility and his ability to connect with crowds around the world.
Dom’s Global Impact Award underscores a broader milestone: the growing global presence of Australian electronic music. As he continues expanding his reach, he represents a new generation of artists redefining how far Australian dance music can go.
