Kaylee Bell
By Poppy Tohill
‘New Zealand’ and ‘country music’ have never particularly had a strong relationship with one another, however this may all be about to change if the determination and already striking success of our very own country singer-songwriter, Kaylee Bell is anything to go by.
Hipstamatics
By Wal Reid
Hipstamatics vocalist Dillon Riesterer is upbeat as we meet, his sartorial coolness matching his approachable demeanour. As we sit down to chat I can’t help but notice his distinct surname.
