Taylah Barker is a soulful singer/songwriter who hails from the Bay of Islands. Her new single Undies tackles gender norms and stereotypes in her unapologetic stance on Self-Love. The project is a femme-power, as Taylah joined forces with her choir of proud women/trans/non-binary singers, female bass-player Phoebe Johnson, and Producer Toby Lloyd.
Troy Kingi is a multi-award-winning Māori musician and actor nearing the mid-point of his aspirational 1O 1O 1O Series (to release 10 albums in 10 genres in 10 years). Holy Colony Burning Acres is the third offering and is a record that focuses on major issues facing indigenous peoples all around the world.
