Bio

21 year old Auckland singer-songwriter Lavender has been making her way on to the music scene since her busking start, to reaching the finals in competitions like the Smokefreerockquest, Play it Strange, Let’s Talk About It, WordUp and much more. She has shared the stage with some of Auckland's most promising, emerging artists at the Corbans Estate Arts Festival, performed for The Spinoff in 2019 at Te Oro and, during lockdown life in 2020, The 'Virtual Jam Cellar.' She has also performed at Youth Arts New Zealand events such as busking during the America's cup racing in 2021, performing at the 2021 Auckland Arts Festival, and the FIFA Fan Festival in 2023. In 2021, she also opened for Marianne Leigh at the Dead Witch (The Ding Dong Lounge). Lavender has performed for the public on behalf of the Britomart association in 2021, and in 2022 she performed at the Mapcap showcase for Madcap NZ at Cassette Nine. 

Lavender's love of performing, writing and creating music has helped her find her people. Nothing gets Lavender as excited as writing a new song in her bedroom with her guitar, then hearing her music come to life in the studio, and later connecting with an audience. Her attention to detail within her lyrics show her incredible storytelling abilities, which becomes compelling and beautiful when intertwined with her “strong voice that has loads of emotion and is combined with a sweetness” - Kev Rowland (Muzic.NZ).

She is now studying music at the University of Auckland and is currently working on an original EP set to release in the near future.
