Friends help Hamo into charts
Ngati Porou singer Hamo Dell says hard-earned connections are helping her succeed in the music industry.
Her latest single Little Fun features Sons of Zion’s Matt Sadgrove and soul singer Sammy Johnson as producers and songwriters.
Dell is on a hot streak with her previous release Feeling Alright hitting #16 on the Hot 40 chart and Ora Ai from this year’s Waiata Anthems peaking at #14.
She says Aotearoa’s small music industry allows her to meet other artists at gigs and performances.
“The friendships, they just grow and then if someone’s doing a song and they maybe need a voice like mine or someone else’s, often you can pull on those friendships to create the songs,” Dell says.
Little Fun featuring Sammy Johnson is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Youtube and iTunes.
