Zoe Moon
Zoe Moon (Mahal) is an Artist with a wealth of songs bursting from her soul. Hawaiian born, Aotearoa bred: this Pōneke-based music progeny, weaves a world of influences into an undulating dance between strength and softness. With a voice that effortlessly glides from resonant low notes to angelic upper registers, and an uncanny knack for distilling honesty in her lyrics, Zoe’s music is an unbridled and eclectic blend that she calls 'Folk R&B' and delivers with conviction.

Zoe’s recent top 40 charting single ‘In Person’ uplifted and excited ears from all over, and was featured on countless Nz and Australian playlists and platforms. 2021 marked the unveiling of her debut solo single ‘Bubbles’, released with Blue Riot Records. Followed by the heart-breaking duet ‘Sister’, which she produced and co-wrote with her real-life big sister Deva Mahal. More recently, she featured on the dopest of duets ‘Way That We Feel’ with fan favourites, TOI. Having performed and collaborated with the likes of Keb Mo & her father Taj Mahal (on the Grammy award winning Tajmo tour), The California Honey Drops, Tami Nielson, Estère, Olmecha Supreme and having been an integral member of Wellington’s beloved supergroup Brockaflower, Zoe has honed her skills throughout Aotearoa and across the globe - bending and mending many a mind with her thrilling and deeply rooted artistry.

Truth seeking with an insightful sense of lyricism, Zoe’s songs explore the interpersonal nuances of identity, life and self-love with a seasoned ear and an open heart. No longer apologizing for who she is, where she’s from or what she has to say, Miss Moon is strengthened in her resolve as a proud Black Kiwi-American woman on the rise and certainly an artist once witnessed, always remembered.

Wallace
Wallace’s music has been described as a vibrant mosaic of soul, hip-hop and pop, her trademark jazz-influenced vocals and magnetic presence demonstrating her evolution as a songwriter to watch.

Her refreshing talent has granted her the opportunity to work in the studio with Dutch legends Kraak & Smaak, Australian hip-hop staples Thundamentals, Botswana-raised, Melbourne-based rapper Sampa The Great, laying vocals over beats by Godriguez, and working closely with producer Simon Cohen (behind Justin Bieber's global #1 song “Love Yourself”).

Celebrated for her electric live show, Wallace has previously toured alongside the likes of Rag ‘N’Bone Man (UK), Morcheeba (UK),
Little Simz (UK), Jordan Rakei (AU/UK), Gabriel Garzon Montano (USA) Masego (USA), Electric Wire Hustle (NZ), Kllo, Winston Surfshirt, Ngaiire and The Kite String Tangle.

Consistently connecting the dots between genres and influences, Wallace’s artistic identity has become uniquely recognisable, with her jazz training and distinct harmonies captivating audiences around the globe.
