ABOUT YAHYAH
Meet YAHYAH rising singer/songwriter by way of New Zealand, London and Los Angeles. Her blend of electronic pop has garnered her serious attention and acclaim in Aotearoa’s pop scene, and far beyond, with her independent debut EP "Unleash the Panda" accelerating to the top 50 iTunes Pop charts in the UK, and follow up pop banger ‘Little Joy' featuring on ZM, George FM, The Project and Juice TV in late 2021. 2022 delivered more success for the independent artist, with 'Thoughts From My Bed' reaching number 10 on the Hot 20 NZ Singles chart, followed up by the special Te Reo translation ‘Ngā Mahara Moenga,' which featured as part of the 2022 Waiata Anthems campaign. Starting 2023 off with a bang, ‘GO’ was picked up by MTV Europe and Juice TV, and featured on the likes of Rolling Stones Australia and Sniffers. Following this came a string of new music, launching the up and coming artist into her next era, that comes with a huge amount of anticipation and promise.
ABOUT CRYSTAL
CRYSTAL is the alternative pop project of Wellington raised, now Auckland based artist and producer Crystal Amor-Ponter. Her signature diary-like lyricism has allowed her to create a world where explores her deepest insecurities and relives the many mundane parts of her life, while navigating her music aspirations. Filled with authenticity and relatability, CRYSTAL’s music strives to reflect real life- as ordinary and uneventful as it may be.
In September, CRYSTAL released her sophomore EP ‘Dead Ends’- a project about navigating the complexities of life. Weighed down by insecurities and self-doubt, ‘Dead Ends’ is a reminder to push through and relish in life’s simple pleasures.
ABOUT FRANKIE VENTER
Growing up in a family that encouraged outspoken creativity, 16-year-old Frankie Venter has been surrounded by music all her life. She learned to play the guitar at the age of 9 and even formed a band with her sisters. Her musical journey has recently taken an exciting turn as she released her first single, "Move With It," and dropped her latest single, "Fine," which debuted at #7 on the NZ Hot Charts.
A few years ago, Venter began crafting her own songs, with her single "Lonely Roads" placing in the Top 20 of the Play It Strange - Youthtown Songwriting Competition 2022. This experience spurred the artist forward, leading her to release two other captivating singles that same year.
“I have been very busy pushing myself to write as many songs as I can and collaborate with other artists and producers, which has been the best learning experience.” - Frankie Venter
Recently signed to Five AM and with more exciting projects in the works, Frankie Venter is definitely one to keep an eye on.
