Alongside Lorde, our most significant music export ever, a myriad of achievements by other artists have also focussed the spotlight as never before on New Zealand as a source of repertoire with true global potential. There are many indicators of the rise in profile of our country’s musical output, among them ‘tastemaker’ festival Iceland Airwaves - having had only two NZ artists play in its 15-year history, five NZ acts are performing in 2014. A multitude of articles and blogs overseas have been tipping the next big thing for NZ music (Broods, Janine and the Mix Tape, Tiny Ruins) or ‘Why New Zealand Could Be the Next Music Hotspot’ (pigeonsandplanes.com).
