QUICK FIRE QUESTIONS
Writer: P. Togi-Sa'ena
How did attending the awards and being part of the VPMA impact you?
Being my irst time, i think I was blown away by the entire event. Was very cool.
Can you please share your favourite memory from the 2017 VPMA ceremony
The opening with the MOANA ceremony was incredible !
How and why are the VPMAs important – to you, to other artists, to the
industry?
I’ve attached a photo as to how important the music awards were to me :) I think as a Maori / Paci ic artist, it’s
great honour to be a acknowledged by the Paci ic Music Awards.
Can you outline what winning the awards meant to you?
It was a trip, I think going into any type of award ceremony when your nominated is abit nerve racking. To win
some is even more nerve racking but also a con idence boost and nice to have my works recognised!
Was there one award that meant more than the others?  If yes, why?
The producer award meant a lot, I’ve been producing music for 6-7 years now , from Advertising Commercial music
to Gym Music .. and now as a performing artist, producing my own music. My favourite!!
