Byllie-jean, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Heretaunga, Ngāti Pahauwera, performs live at the Christchurch art gallery for Music 101 and NZ Music Month.
Winner of the 2022 APRA Maioha Award for her song with Aja Te Iho, Byllie has been creating and releasing visual and sonic content steadily ever since, including her new EP Filter.
Byllie-jean performs in front of a groundbreaking new body of work by Auckland-based Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Tumutumu, Niue artist Cora Allan titled Encountering Aotearoa, supported by artists Agnes Aleesy on cello, keys, and back up vocals, and Serenity Thurlow playing the viola. Go to Youtube RNZ Music to see the full live performance.
Cora Allan’s exhibition is open at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū until the 25th of August, and will be continuing up the country.
