Australian music video director Nick Kozakis took centre stage at the ARIA Awards on Wednesday night, accepting the award for Best Video alongside co-director Sela Vai on behalf of Tones and I. The accolade was for the artist’s latest single, Dance With Me.
Tones and I, known for her global hit Dance Monkey, was unable to attend the ceremony but shared her gratitude via a heartfelt video.
“I can’t believe we did it. I just want to give a huge shout-out to [my team]. Congratulations to everyone involved,” she said.
Kozakis, visibly moved as he accepted the award, expressed his admiration for the singer.
“Unbelievable to be among such amazing talent,” he said. “Tones, you’re the best person in the world. You have such a big heart. You’ve looked after us from day one.”
Vai echoed the sentiment, calling Tones and I “a fearless and generous soul.”
The Best Video category was highly competitive, with nominees including SPEED (REAL LIFE LOVE), Lime Cordiale (Cold Treatment), and Peach PRC (Time Of My Life).
Kozakis, who has been a long-time collaborator with Tones and I, continues to make a significant impact in the music industry through his creative vision. His work on Dance With Me cements his reputation as one of Australia’s leading music video directors.
