labour of love, capturing a snapshot of youth and life in New Zealand's
capital.

Name UL
was performing in bars and clubs long before he was legally able to drink in
them and established his own label, K.W.O.E – or Kids With Open Ears - when he
was just 15.
In 2015, he made his move from the underground hip-hop scene to the mainstream
with the release of his powerful youth anthem Only Sixteen. He’s also opened for
international acts such as Pharcyde,
Action Bronson, Schoolboy Q, Vince Staples, Jurassic 5 and Earl Sweatshirt.
Choice(s)has so far spawned two great singles – Nice
Guys Finish Thirst, which has caused quite a stir
online. Note: make sure
you watch to the very end!!!
