Contemporary Rhythm & Blues

What does NZ music month mean to you?

It’s a chance for more performance opportunities good for us as we are part-time musicians at the moment.

Have you written any songs about Christchurch or Canterbury?

Not yet.

Do you think the region / place makes its way into the music if so how?

It hasn’t so far, but I suspect that it will as our music and life experiences develop.

Are there any other influences on your music?

A lot of our music has been influenced by R’n’B/Gospel music from the 90s. Artists such as Boyz II Men, Dru Hill, 112 and Jagged Edge have had a big influence on our music.

What’s your favourite New Zealand song and why?

Something I Need by A.K.A Brown because it’s a quality NZ R’n’B song.

Who’s you’re favourite NZ artist and why?

Don’t have one - we dig sounds from artists such as Pacific Underground, Tribalincs, Scribe, Adeaze, Caramel, Cydel…
