Also in the line up are Girl At Night by Christchurch indie band There’s A Tuesday and Beyond the Stars written by Tami Neilson and Delaney Davidson, which Neilson performed as a duet with country legend Willie Nelson.
35, performed by Ruha and Te Tairāwhiti choir Ka Hao, has had over 8 million streams on Spotify alone since it was released in late 2021.
Marlon Williams describes My Boy as a pop song with a Māori folk strum.
His album of the same name will be released on September 9.
The awards will be presented on October 18 at Spark Arena in Auckland.
