From NZ Music Commission - Award-winning Aotearoa artist AJA has today shared her timeless, unravelling and hypnotic bilingual debut album KĀWAI.

7 years in the making, today’s body of work from this bona fide talent is a truly authentic display of an artist finding her voice and inviting listeners into the inner-workings of her world.

Alongside producer Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle, Meeting House Records), and a talented network of band members, collaborators, and features, AJA (Ngāti Raukawa, Āti Awa ki Whakarongotai, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Ngāti Porou) effortlessly blends her ethereal melodies and flexes mesmerizing vocal agility with introspective musings on the world around her.

“KĀWAI is a reflection of who I am, who I love, what I have respect for and what I value,” says the artist.”
