11:20 Best of NZ Live - Maala
Maala - a musician who was originally shrouded in secrecy. Auckland-based singer-songwriter Evan William Sinton initially gave few interviews, and even shied away from revealing his real name. Part of the reason could be because he didn't have a huge backstory. By day, he worked in a warehouse, but, at night, he discovered, or reinvented, himself ... writing songs and honing his vocal talent. It was a talent which Sony Music discovered early, and they managed to keep him under wraps until the release of his debut album. And he jammed with us earlier this year, playing songs off Composure.
