25 year old Auckland singer songwriter, Paige Tapara, began writing and recording music in her bedroom a few years ago, sharing on social media and busking.
Since then she's been signed to Sony music and Arista records, won Best Māori Artist Award last year, and toured with some of New Zealand's biggest acts including Six60 and Drax Project.
She's been name-checked by some huge stars including Billie Eilish and Lizzo and has more than 360,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Paige talks to Kathryn about her songs that traverse sexuality, mental health, love and dreams.
