2026 Toyota Golden Guitar nominee Warren H Williams is a legend of Australian Country Music and an Indigenous icon with 12 studio albums under his belt. Warren H Williams is renowned for his 1998 Aria nominated single with John Williamson “Raining on the Rock” and has since produced many more hits. The multi award winning artist has just made history for his Golden Guitar nomination for the first ever song nominated with full original Australian language lyrics. The single “Ntaria” picked up two nominations in the 2026 awards for HERITAGE SONG OF THE YEAR and VOCAL COLLABORATION OF THE YEAR (a song in Arrante Language) featuring Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson and is only the first single off his latest album UNDA WERMAR. The new album is all in language and represents an invitation to all Australians to hear and appreciate our Australian language heritage and to feel part of the complete history of this land. The album songs are beautifully crafted and include further collaborations with Australian music royalty who have lent their voices to Warrens message of awareness, inclusion and unity. Warrens anthem song “Let Us Stand Together” of his last album “These Are The Changes” gives the listener greater insight into Warrens heart and intention with his new album. This anthem has served as an important precursor to this album and his ongoing call for unity and understanding.
