I'm Lisa, Muzic.NZ's founder and manager. I also manage the Aotearoa Music Industry Collective as well as the Aotearoa Rock Community and the Gig Space Facebook groups.
I’ve been interested in music for as long as I can remember – I grew up listening to my parent's records and watching the Top 40 Countdown on TV every weekend. I also played the drums and guitar in high school, and wrote lyrics for some of my friend’s bands. I come from a musical background; my Granddad was one of the main founders of country music clubs in Taranaki.
Rock is my favourite genre of music, but I enjoy a huge variety of genres from old school hip-hop through to metal, punk, pop, folk and EDM.
My advice to NZ musicians' is to build yourself a great support network, never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and talk to other people involved in the music industry, and don't give up.. as long as you love what you are doing, don't stop doing it.
If you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything.
