We’ve just released the music video for WISER from our Unmasked album (2024). This track is a letter to our younger selves – a reflection and ultimately, a kind of peace offering.

The mornings have been cold, the nights are stretching out, and although the signs of spring are subtle, they’re certainly on their way.

I’ve been enjoying the seasonal shift of May – golden leaves crunching underfoot, the crisp bite in the morning air, the comforting scent of the burning wood fire, warm socks, early dusks, and endless cups of tea. That’s what autumn means to me. It’s been a strange-old month here in rural Waikato. The days are...Continue reading
As we close the chapter on April, I’m taking a moment to reflect on what has been a fun and hectic month. Personal Highlights A special highlight this month was attending Ages of Pages, a wonderful author event celebrating New Zealand and Australian writers. It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many passionate...Continue reading
