The Singing Our Futures program proudly announces the release of Aria’s debut single ‘Truth Can’t Be Told By A Liar” distributed via Bad Apples Music.
Aria developed this beautiful pop ballad as part of the 2025 Singing Our Futures mentor program, working alongside mentor, award winning artist and producer Candice Lorrae.
“This song is about feeling like you’re being taken for granted, and slowly realising that you deserve more than what someone is able to give you.” – Aria
Aria Clemmet-Kennedy is a proud Palawa woman from the Trawlwoolway mob in Tasmania. Last year, she graduated with her advanced diploma from the Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts (ACPA) in Brisbane.
Aria says that music has helped her express who she is, a way of dealing with her anxiety.
“I’ve always been a very shy person, too scared to express myself. As my confidence has grown, I’ve enjoyed being on stage and engaging with the audience. For me, being more authentic on stage has been a huge accomplishment.”
Aria’s single is one of the 4 singles Singing Our Futures & Bad Apples will be announcing across the next month. Wren Akrose was first cab off the rank with their single ‘I Choose My Name’
The Singing Our Futures program was established by the Archie Roach Foundation in collaboration with Culture is Life. It has evolved from the rich legacy left behind by Uncle Archie Roach, a legacy centered around the art of storytelling and truth-telling through music, as well as his dedication to nurturing and creating significant opportunities for emerging First Nations artists.
Stay tuned for more work from Aria and the following releases from Singing Our Futures.
