While having my holiday in New Zealand and Australia, I came to realize that NZ has this very understated vibe....and I kind of identify with that. We're kind of "just do it, prove it" rather than "blow your own trumpet" kind of people. I realize that even though I don't live there, I am somewhat influenced by this cultural trait also.
Growing up I have always had NZ Music played to me. Some of my favorites are: Dave Dobbyn Bic Runga Neil Finn and his older band Crowded House The Muttonbirds Lorde

![]() While thinking about my Personal Project one day, and my goal for it, I came to realize that being a TCK is my point of difference to many other aspiring musicians in the world. I’ve lived in New Zealand, Vietnam and Bangkok, so three different cultures and each have very different points of view. Being a TCK has helped me to become more open-minded, as I travel around a lot too. I realized that my life story is something unique and can help me be more known, and I should use to my advantage while creating my musical identity. While traveling around various places of the world, I have been exposed to many different cultures, and all that comes with that like music and mindset. Something else that widens my perspective about different cultures is going to an International School where there are so many different nationalities. While if I went to school in New Zealand I would be one out of a whole school of kiwis, in NIST I am the only New Zealander in the whole of my year group. |
