MOLLY PAYTON
Molly Payton has caught the attention of audiophiles and artists alike, propelling a career that started as emotional catharsis. Following the success of her 2021 mini-album ‘Slack’, which included hypnotic hit ‘Honey’, Molly joined beabadoobee at her Australasian shows, as well as supporting frequent collaborator Tom Odell and Arlo Parks on their respective UK tours. Molly is currently working on her debut full-length album, set to release early 2024.
JUDAH KELLEY
Ōtepoti-raised Judah Kelley blends the dynamics of soul, the instrumentation of western, and the glossy hooks of pop to make songs ripe with emotion, from uplifting to tear-jerking and back again. With a lively five-piece to back her, Judah makes loud her unique position in pop, and makes a room move to sounds unfamiliar but undeniable.
LUCIAN RICE
Meet Lucian Rice, the newly fashioned solo project set to reshape New Zealand's alternative landscape. Lucian has delved into a new sonic realm that better represents his writing while defying genre constraints; melding the current nu-gaze, dream pop and alternative movements into a captivating blend. With this project, Lucian is delivering songs that create a dreamlike, sonic blasting experience while remembering the first rule of pop music: catchiness.
