The VNZMA Artisan Awards short lists have been announced, and Josh Fountain is up for The Massey University Best Producer and Best Engineer. He's worked with the likes of BENEE, Foley, LEISURE, and MAALA, and he popped in to studio this morning to talk us through his work.
The Aotearoa Music Awards happened last night: with 19 live performances and a whole bunch of 95bFM faves nominated across the evening, Rachel and Tess were stoked to be on the ground, mic in hand, to get the scoop. Whakarongo mai nei to hear from Church & AP, Choicevaughan, Tami Neilson, Nadia Reid, The Beths, BENEE, SWIDT, Jawsh685 and more!
Rachel and Tess were on the ground at the APRA Silver Scrolls 2019, weaving their way through the champagne-toting crowd with microphones in hand, to bring you the hot scoop from the nominees and finalists.
The Beths, Tiny Ruins, BENEE, Aldous Harding and Avantdale Bowling Club were all up for the the 2019 APRA Silver Scroll Award, which recognises excellence in songwriting; with Aldous Harding eventually taking the crown for her brilliant track 'The Barrel'. We also spoke to Angelique Te Rauna who, alongside Tyna Keelan and Matauranga Te Rauna, wrote the APRA Maioha Award winning track 'Ka Ao'. Plus we heard from 95bFM fave Karl Steven who took the title of APRA Best Original Music in a Series Award for 'The Bad Seed' television score.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Jordan Mooney stops by to talk about playing some other dude called Jordan in TVNZ's new Sunday Theatre'The Dance Exponents: Why Does Love?'; Steph keeps her surf spot secrets in the face of Mikey's insistence; Troy joins us a little earlier and we all get a little wiser in From the Crate; Ant Healey and Fazerdaze talk to Mike about songwriting and the 2017 APRA Silver Scrolls longlist announce; and everyone else is either freezing, moving house, or in France.
