The creativity of Kiwi musicians is being recognised this month.
The Taite Music Prize is being awarded next week, the purpose of which is to recognise outstanding creativity for an entire collection of music contained on one album.
80 albums were nominated this year, of which only ten made the cut to be finalists.
Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to preview the awards.
