It's May, which means it's New Zealand Music Month - a time dedicated to celebrate Kiwi music and musicians.
The theme of the month is Discover New, encouraging people to expand on their current playlists with something new. Whether it's new music by a well-known Kiwi musician, introducing yourself to a Kiwi artist you have never heard of before or treating your ears to something old that every other except yourself seems to know.
There is no shortage of musical talent in New Zealand so discovering something new shouldn't be a hard task.
While it is great we have a month dedicated to celebrating NZ music and the talented creatives who make it - and we have done so for close to two decades - supporting Kiwi musicians is what we should be doing all throughout the year.
Many musicians have day jobs. They work hard in the job they have to do so that they can eventually do the work they want to do as fulltime musicians.
