Chris CK

In March we travelled outside of Auckland and kicked it in Wellington with an OG of the Wellington music scene - Chris CK (Sorry that this one has been in the tuck for a while) CK is been doing his damn thing musically for countless years - heavily respected across Aotearoa by the presence and energy he brings to the stage - along with the work he has done with many local acts such as Raw Collective, Richter City Rebels and Tawhiri Funk just to name a few. We had quite as quite an retrospective chat about his journey to date, process of creating music, the significance/art of the live performance and alot more. He has been quoted in saying “Knowing that you can keep up with two of the largest bands in the city with just a drum machine….you know you got the juice!” So you know your in for a treat with this one.

Dallas Harvey

Super stoked to have sat down with Dallas Harvey on the ORIGINS pod - SEASON 2 is in full effect! You will quickly realise when hearing Dallas talk, that he does many things when it comes to his contribution to Aotearoa's music scene and is truely authentic in his delivery in and outside of music!

JJ Shadow

Stoked to have kicked off Season 2 of the Assorted Kiwi: ORIGINS pod with the bro JJ Shadow. We talked about how it all started for JJ and his journey creatively through different expressions of art! JJ Shadow has released quite alot of music so far with a number of projects that are currently across SoundCloud and Spotify. While JJ Shadow has not released a project since 2020's Everything's Alright, I Love You - 2022 is looking to be a big year, with the recent release of his new single "Find Your Wings" - with new releases coming out throughout this year.

The Ode & JSH. (9 To 4)

Was stoked to have both of these gents on the pod! The Ode & JSH. (Cody and Josh) Both of these bros have been making music for a while and recently dropped a new collaborative album 9 to 4. Check the album out - 7 tracks of hip-hop/r'n'b and all around great music! We talked about how it all started, from how they both met in 2014, their individual journeys in music and everything leading up to the creation of their joint debut album '9 to 4'. Many gems of insights in this one as both of these boys have greats hearts and passion for what they do individually, together and for others! Head to both of their IG pages to check out more of them both and check out their music on Spotify @theode.music https://open.spotify.com/artist/6iTlDERIMqdkrYPqmaldqC?si=pck4i0TbRGSHHmHxNDD3Fg&utm_source=copy-link @jsh.grace https://open.spotify.com/artist/7iY07K6xGjFG6Bc46CdJia?si=ySogw18dQfuqOEUgxXdnXQ&utm_source=copy-link #nz #kiwi #nzmusic #podcast #business #newzealand #music #musician #aotearoa #aotearoamusic #newzealand
