Anna Coddington won big at last week's Silver Scroll awards, but she's been a big name in the industry for more than a decade.

She started playing music at the age of 11 in her hometown of Raglan and hasn't stopped since.

She's traversed instruments and genres with five albums under her belt, and is known for her lively performances on stages across Aotearoa.

Her Silver Scroll win was for the song 'Kātuarehe,' off her most recent album, Te Whakamiha.

The funk-inspired, bilingual work is an ode both to her long-term band and her journey learning Te Reo Māori.

She joins Kathryn to discuss her colourful career so far.
