"New Zealand has a rich musical history and still produces some of the most creative talent in the world, a mind-boggling feat considering the country’s size and population. I’ve seen this first-hand with the steady rise of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and can’t wait to learn more about the new batch of artists making their own mark on New Zealand’s musical legacy." - Jacob Daneman - Pitch Perfect PR

"Success is a long term strategy combined with lots of little decisions made along the way" - Maggie Collins (Big Sound)

THIRD ANNUAL E TU WHANAU SONG COMPETITION PULLS IN THE TALENT

Writers of original songs that inspire positive change are being encouraged to get their entries into the third annual E Tū Whānau Song competition as soon as possible, to maximise their votes and chance of winning. Entries close at 5pm on 11th June 2018 and voting closes at 5pm on Wednesday 20th June. 

Writers of original songs that inspire positive change are being encouraged to get their entries into the third annual E Tū Whānau Song competition as soon as possible, to maximise their votes and chance of winning.

“We’re asking people write an original song that incorporates one or more of the E Tū Whānau values  – Aroha, Whanaungatanga, Whakapapa, Mana/Manaaki, Kōrero Awhi, and Tikanga,” says competition organiser, Teresa McGregor. 

E Tū Whānau is a movement encouraging New Zealanders from all communities to reject unacceptable levels of violence in Aotearoa by nurturing and celebrating the things that make whānau strong.

“We want people to challenge attitudes that accept violence in any form and this competition is a great way of doing that,” Teresa McGregor says.

Entries for the online song competition are currently flooding onto the E Tū Whānau facebook page where anyone can vote once a day for any number of songs, including their own. Those that attract most votes in the peoples poll will then be judged by award winning singers, Maisey Rika and Tawaroa Kawana and producer, Maaka ‘Phat’, who’ll choose the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners. Entries close at 5pm on 11th June 2018 and voting closes at 5pm on Wednesday 20th June. 

The E Tū Whānau Song Competition’s focus on grassroots talent attracts a large popular following. Last year’s winning entry, “One Love” by the group East Coast Breevas, has had 27,000 views on YouTube. Whilst 2016 winner “Whakatō Te Kākano” by Mauri has spent 49 weeks in the Top 20 Te Reo Māori Airplay Chart.

A music clip for the song “Bring Mana To Your Name” by Pianika Duncan, which attracted the most votes in 2016, has achieved an impressive 105,000 Facebook views. The song propelled Pianika into the finals in the Best Female Vocalist category at the 2017 Waiata Māori Music Awards.

Tawaroa Kawana from chart-topping group Maimoa Music is a judge for the first time this year, joining Maisey Rika and producer, Maaka ‘Phat” who have been involved in the competition since it started in 2016. 

“This competition has captured the imagination of whānau throughout the motu because it showcases the depth of talent in our communities,” says Maaka Phat.

"People everywhere are making inspirational, meaningful music and the E Tū Whānau Song Competition gives them a chance to share it with us all.”  

First prize in the 2018 E Tū Whānau Song Competition is worth $5000. Second prize is $2000 and 3rd prize $1000. The song that receives the most votes will receive $2000. Entrants are asked to upload footage of their song being performed to YouTube and complete the online entry form on the E Tū Whānaufacebook page.

20 BANDS IN 2 HOURS 2018

The idea to fill an entire radio show with live music originated as a crazy student radio folly. Several instalments later the 2018 show moves to a larger venue but with the very same goal - to showcase a variety of fine local music to music lovers in one fun night. 

What's the story?

The idea to fill an entire radio show with live music originated as a crazy student radio folly. Several instalments later the 2018 show moves to a larger venue but with the very same goal - to showcase a variety of fine local music to music lovers in one fun night. 

Every act plays one song, then there'll be a frantic changeover, for the next one to follow.

2018 marks the 30th anniversary of NZ Musician magazine, the one local music magazine still standing. It's still available in print twice a year and all year round online - squeezing 20 local acts into two hours in NZ Music Month seems a good way to celebrate!.

 

The Line Up


This year's line up is an eclectic mix of all genres, and for the first time we'll be joined by musicians from outside Auckland, notably Candice Milner from Christchurch, Daniel Young from Wellington and Tui Mamaki of Acapollinations from the Far North. A taste of this variety of genres and ages will make for an awesome live "mixtape" of some of our finest local music, both upcoming and well-established. How many gigs have you been to in recent times that offered rock, soul, hip hop and bagpipes in the same line up?

 

The Full Line Up In Alphabetical Order:

Acapollinations, Bels, Bernie Griffen & The Thin Men, Bone Unit, Boom Boom Deluxe, Candice Milner, Dave Weir, Dead Beat Boys, Dean Whaitiri, Dual, Fables, Felix The Thyrd, George Young, JessB, Miho Wada, OrigiNZ, Savannah, Shed, The Low Low, The Prophet Motive, and Wilde Taylor Jones.

THE 2018 OFFICIAL NZ MUSIC MONTH SUMMIT

‘CONFRONTING ISSUES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY’

 

The Official Music Month Summit returns for 2018, and this year it is tackling some of the issues the Music Industry has been facing up to over the last year.

Held at the Herald Theatre in the Aotea Centre in Auckland, the Summit features a stellar line up of music industry professionals and speakers, who will challenge and create thought-provoking  conversation around some of the industry issues that have been highlighted in the past twelve months.

The day comprises of four sessions, with four speakers for each topic and an open Q&A after each session.   The subjects and speakers are:

WOMEN IN MUSIC  

With the worldwide explosion of #MeToo and the gender pay gap revelations, gender inequality has been a hot topic this year across all industries.  Four women from different areas within Music Industry will talk about their experiences. 

DIVERSITY IN MUSIC

Is there racial and LGBTQ discrimination within the music industry? Four artists share their experiences and point of view drawing from their individual journeys.

WELLBEING

Health and wellbeing are fundamental to music-making at all levels, but also across all areas of the industry – management, production, crew.  Four speakers from different corners of the Music Industry share their stories.

REGIONAL ISOLATION

 Even though NZ is a small country, it is amazing how being a few miles away from the main hubs can create a feeling of disconnection from the industry. Four influential execs discuss their challenges and achievements in creating active and viable regional hubs.

For more information and full bio details on the Summit http://www.mmf.co.nz/2018-summit

This year there is a $10 (plus booking fees) charge to attend the Summit with 100% of the ticket income donated to the NZ Music Foundation.- a charity dedicated to changing lives through music.   

Tickets are from Ticketmaster
