With her introspective lyrics and smoky, stylized vocals, BENEE combines the sophisticated R&B of artists like Sade and Corinne Bailey Rae with the atmospheric, head-voice electronics of Billie Eilish. She initially hit the charts with her 2018 single “Soaked,” before cracking the Top 20 in her native New Zealand with her debut EP, 2019’s Fire on Marzz.

Seven piece band Fat Freddy’s Drop is internationally regarded as one of the world’s finest live draws. Over the last four LPs the New Zealanders have navigated their way from the incubator of sunshine reggae through a colour-saturated field of soul psychedelia before swerving onto a desolate Detroit superhighway at night.

Originally hailing from Whakatane, four musical brothers from the Kora family, Laughton, Francis, Stuart and Brad, began playing together as a band in the early 1990s under the name Auntie Beatrice, winning the national Rockquest high school band competition in 1991 and the East Coast region Battle Of The Bands three years running, earning a release on Tangata Records for their efforts.

L.A.B was founded by the legendary Kora brothers Brad Kora (drums) and Stu Kora (guitar, keys) and quickly engaged the extraordinary talents of Joel Shadbolt on lead vocals & guitar, Ara Adams-Tamatea (Katchafire) on bass, & Miharo Gregory on keys.

As a vocalist, MC and truth-teller, the consistent evolution of Ladi6 has firmly cemented her as New Zealand’s undisputed Queen of Hip-hop/Soul and R&B.

Scribe is undoubtedly the shining star of New Zealand's much celebrated young hip-hop scene. Scribe’s first solo show held at Club 77 after the Big Day Out sold out within 5 minutes of the doors opening!

Record-breaking New Zealand tours, scene-setting appearances at festivals like Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Big Day Out and Parklife, sold-out performances across Europe, multiple music awards, four EPs and five LPs - three with platinum sales.

Just six years on from her first release, Bailey Wiley has made herself a musical force to be reckoned with, taking out the award for Best RnB/Soul Artist at the 2019 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.
