The Latest From Moana...
Music (30 Mar)
Paddy Free has mixed and mastered our six-track album ONO which I absolutely adore. With lyrics by Scotty Morrison (who also features as a guest vocalist alongside six other special singers) - ONO is a celebration of native languages, mana wahine and saltwater sisterhood. Plotting a music video next month to top it off. Watch this space. Mahalo...
Kia ora (16 Mar)
Heading down to Womad this weekend - the best festival in Aotearoa. Sung at the very first one at Western Springs and done a couple since in Taranaki. Looking forward to hearing great unexpected new music.
Happy 2023 (6 Jan)
Am thrilled to announce that we recorded the guest vocals for the sixth and final song for my new album ONO. I'm not going to tell you the name of the special artist who has joined me on this track but they are from...Hawaii! Also...just so you know, Paddy and I are joining some wonderful artists who will be performing at Splore Festival in Feb and the whole festival is SOLD OUT!!
