About CJ Shaw
In 2020, CJ Shaw was nominated for an ARIA Award for ‘Music Teacher of the Year’ with Jimmy Barnes as his official ambassador presenting him with the nomination.
This prestigious music industry acknowledgement recognised his dynamic and poignant song-writing for primary-aged children. In 2022, CJ Shaw’s ‘Ain’t Many Like Lennie’ music video was picked up and broadcast by SBS TV, who featured it on SBS On Demand.
These celebrated songs are woven through his performances and albums, played alongside satirical and storytelling Australiana folk songs.
With over a decade experience touring and performing at music festivals in Australia and Timor-Leste, CJ Shaw is an exciting musician at the top of his game.
“CJ Shaw, you've been doing some really great things
with music and for the school and because of that,
I'm really pleased to inform you, that you've been nominated for an ARIA.”
