MEET THE ARTISTS

Andre Smith: The solo project of the Heavy Chest lead singer. His debut release ‘Existence’ out in 2021 was a stripped back guitar/vocals 7 track EP. His lyrics reflecting experiences from life delicately delivered brings a warm vibe to any room.

Judah Kelley: The Ōtepoti artist came into the spotlight early 2021 with her celebrated debut single ‘READY’. Judah experiments with elements of rock, pop, and alternative music in her writing, creating a diverse sound which can be heard across her song ‘Dance the Part’ and her latest single ‘Apathy'. Described by Aotearoa publication, Hype Medium, as ‘absolutely one to watch for 2022’, Judah is set to showcase some of her finest work this year

George Barney Roberts: Following a craving of emotional expression, the 19 year old from Auckland has been writing and constantly refining his sound, culminating in his upcoming EP ‘Strange!’. With influences rooted in 90s / early 2000s pop rock and emo, ‘Strange’ has a unique style with driving instrumentals, big hooks contrasted by intimate lyricism. George's personality, a sensitive, endearing soul shows throughout his music resulting in sweet and emotionally all encompassing songs.
