Honouring Troy Cassar-Daley: A Night That Celebrated Heart, Artistry & Community

Huge congratulations to Troy Cassar-Daley, recognised at Support Act’s Music in the House for his artistry, leadership and the way he consistently shows up for community. From mentoring young artists to championing men’s mental health and celebrating Aboriginal culture, Troy’s influence reaches well beyond the stage.

This honour couldn’t be more deserved.

A Night About Heart — And the Heart We Were Proud to Create

We’ve had the privilege of working with Support Act for over eight years — an organisation we deeply admire for their commitment to Australian musicians, crew and industry workers. From crisis relief to mental health support, they are the lifeline behind the scenes when times get tough.

For this year’s Music in the House event, we were honoured to see our Glass Heart on stage — a handcrafted piece we designed in collaboration with Australian glass artist Llewelyn Ash.

Each heart is hand-formed in South Australia, shaped with intention, crafted to symbolise:

• Heart

• Generosity

• Strength

• Enduring craft

• The backbone of the Australian music community

Seeing this piece awarded to Troy felt incredibly special — a moment where Australian artistry, community, and recognition came together.
