A bit more about this week's artists:

LAVENDER

20-year-old Auckland singer-songwriter Lavender started her musical journey by busking on the wild streets of St Heliers. She bravely faced the weather, the locals, and having to keep asking her mum to drop her off and pick her up (thanks, Mum).

She has reached the finals in competitions like the Smokefreerockquest, Play it Strange, Let's Talk About It, WordUp and much more. Lavender has shared the stage with some of Auckland's most promising, emerging artists at the Corbans Estate Arts Festival, performed for The Spinoff in 2019 at Te Oro and, during lockdown life in 2020, The 'Virtual Jam Cellar.' She has also performed at Youth Arts New Zealand events such as busking during the America's Cup racing in 2021, and performed at the 2021 Auckland Arts Festival.
