Farnham son listed for Musicoz Awards17:02 AEST Tue Mar 16
The offspring of Aussie music stars John Farnham and Phil Emmanuel are among the finalists in a national competition for independent and unsigned artists.
Proving talent runs in the family, metal/hardcore musician Rob Farnham and country singer Jesse Emmanuel are in the running for the 2010 Musicoz Awards.
Farnham said he was trying to make a name for himself as an artist in his own right.
"I'm trying to get myself out as not just Farnham's son," he told AAP.
"I'm going to get that regardless but I'm doing my best to break out of that mould and be my own man."
Other performers who have been nominated include Tania Kernaghan for best country artist, Australian Idol winner Natalie Gauci for best live performance, and Ricki-Lee Coulter for best video.
Popular Sydney electro-rock group Art vs Science are up for best live performance.
Now in their 10th year, the Musicoz Awards give independent and unsigned artists recognition, support, and exposure opportunities to further their success, with previous winners including Bluejuice and Bliss n Eso.
The winners will be announced at Sydney Town Hall on March 26, and the event broadcast on MTV.
