I'm Lisa, Muzic.net.nz's founder and manager. I also manage the Aotearoa Music Industry Collective and Gig Space Facebook groups.
I’ve been interested in music for as long as I can remember – I grew up listening to Mum & Dad’s old records and watching the Top 40 Countdown on TV every weekend, as well as playing the drums and guitar at high school and writing lyrics for my friend’s bands. I come from a musical background; my Granddad was one of the main founders of country music clubs in Taranaki.
Rock is my favourite genre of music, but I enjoy a huge variety of genres from old school hip-hop through to metal, punk, pop and EDM.
My advice to NZ musicians' is don’t give up. If you believe in yourself, you’ll be capable of achieving great things. Build yourself a great support network and get rid of anyone that refuses to support you, you don’t need people like that around – but most importantly, don’t give up... as long as you love what you’re doing, don’t stop doing it.
If you have determination you can succeed at anything.
