With one of the most distinctive and powerful voices in music, Hollie Smith well and truly deserves her place as Aotearoa’s first lady of jazz and soul.

The latest single ‘Poor On Poor’ was written during the last elections.

“I understand politics are incredibly complicated and with very complex circumstances, but watching the adults who are in control of our country behaving like children was disappointing” says Hollie. “Poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer - needs to be people listening to those who don't have money to afford a voice and to better unify Aotearoa”.

Catch Hollie at a series of up-close-and-personal shows this September and October throughout New Zealand.
