4/4 Pacific Music + Arts Volume 2:2 Oct 2017 | Page 23

Writer: P. Togi-Sa'ena 23 The night also highlighted the emerging career of Kings and his breakout hit “Don’t Worry Bout It”. The song catapulted Kings as an artist and is renowned for holding the record for the longest running #1 single on the NZ Singles Charts – taking the crown held by Lorde. “Don’t Worry Bout It” is such a great demonstration of what one song can do to change someone’s life. The 2017 VPMAs were significantly impacted by the presence of the one and only Aaradhna and the new shinning light that is Kings, who were the two big winners on the night, taking home four awards each. Kings has a strong physical presence – with his stature and broad shoulders. His speeches gave evidence to a well spoken, humble and grounded young man. It was clear that he has been determined and focus with his music and is set to establish a strong career in the music industry. He is well supported with his music and gave acknowledgment and recognition to two key people, his manager and his father – which again hinted to his character as a person. Both Aaradhna and Kings are now working on their new projects – writing new songs and hitting the studio – we all can’t wait to hear what they create and to share the next phase of their music journey 4/4 fourfour.co.nz 4 / 4
