3.15 INTRODUCING: Rhys Rich 

Wellington based singer-songwriter Rhys Rich mixes classic hip-hop and RnB tones along with modern influences from genres such as pop, indie rock and electronic music.  

Growing up as a self-described nerd, he found himself obsessed with computers and creative programs which opened the door to his creative endeavors at a young age.

Buy/stream music from Rhys Rich 

After taking a lonewolf approach to his music for years, he's taken a step back to work alongside producers and collaborators to spend more time polishing and tweaking his sound.  

With a new EP on the horizon, we had a chat with the man himself to get the lowdown on his single ‘No Confetti’.

3.30  The Secret Life of Video Game Composers

The gaming industry is massive business, making much more money worldwide than movies. And many game developers are popping up around NZ – which means opportunities for musicians hoping to get into the business.  

Intrigued by this, Tony Stamp sought out some of these company’s in-house composers, to learn more about their gear, the approach they take to creating epic scores, and how they got started.
