Stoked to have spent some time at KiwiFM with Charlotte Ryan this month! Such a chill and fun chat. Getting real excited for Songwriter of the Year now, hope to see your faces there! Blessings to you :)

I sat in Maidment Theatre 4 years ago with a pink ukulele and a (really ugly) floral top watching the first ever University of Auckland Songwriter of the Year Competition and thinking, 'man…I wanna do this one day!' 

Man…that day is the 3rd of October!

I wanna invite y'all to the Songwriter of the Year Final, in which I am a finalist, along with some spectacular musicians! It's one of the most anticipated events of the year for us in the School of Music and a great night for music in general!

Gonna be updating y'all on our prep for the night - it's gonna be wild ride! Chur :)

Super excited to have the coolest chick on the planet, Carmela Nepomuceno, create some artwork for the website! How flipping talented is she - and this ain't finished yet! Check out her instagram here.

This is crazy cool, breaking barriers between artist and audience. Yet I'm not so sure about the class barriers…would have been cool to see it done with less celebs and more of us 'ordinary people'. 

Anyway, this brings a whole new level to performance. Awesome song by Jay Z too. 

[shanallorando]

got asked in class what kind of artists we wanted to be. and then this song popped up in my head. 

hope you're blessed by this song today, and dance to it like a madman…cause I certainly am!

I know I won't be the first one to say this, but this is how the royal family should have totally announced it. Congrats royal family! Please name your baby boy Simba, too!

Thanks Pegasus Photography for these awesome shots from the Tweed EP Release last Sunday. Such cool people and such a cool night. Sundays are always cool. Uni tomorrow, not so cool. Gonna indulge in the last hours of this holiday, and hope you do too.

Happy Sunday y'all! Blessings to you :)

Evelyn and I looking at what I call the 'rainbow of possibilities' (flipping colourful tab thangz). Can't wait to have this track finished and for y'all to hear it!

Also, being serenaded by Brooklyn Bar's very own bartender Kat/Cat (ahh however you spell it, her voice was AMAZING - y'all need to go and listen to her!) Great night of acoustic jams and great company, thanks to all who organised it! 

So today was pretty sweet! Bless <3
