Avondale MC Melodownz spits rhymes quicker than his smooth melodies and jumps in and out of reggae, hip hop and soul elements. He's become an urban poet, telling the stories of his hardships and shedding a light on his cultural upbringing. And he does most of it right out of his bedroom. Avondale MC, rapper and poet Melodownz (Bronson Price) started his career in his West Auckland bedroom, composing reggae-tinged hip hop rhymes and raps inspired by his Samoan/Pākehā upbringing, and his community. His 2017 single '$on of a Queen', off album Avontales, has since clocked up close to a million views on YouTube. In 2019 Melodownz released 'No Mercy', featuring American hip hop artist Denzel Curry, followed by summery single 'Fine' in 2020. Price said that the song was about his need for self-affirmation. Melodownz was awarded Most Promising Artist at the 2019 New Zealand Pacific Music Awards.

With a soul man’s voice and a poet’s soul, Ed Waaka is one of the most compelling singer / songwriters to emerge from New Zealand. His music pays homage to the power of the human condition, creating songs that are consciously direct and spiritually uplifting. He has worked and played alongside some of New Zealand’s most prolific NZ artists including Troy Kingi, Trinity Roots, Annie Crummer, Lydia Cole, Melodownz and Louis Baker to name a few. Since the release of his debut single “No Enemy of Mine” in 2015, he continues to produce work that is universal in nature, seeking out truth and connection, using stirring vocals and intimate conveyance to create atmospheres of warmth and love. Last year he released singles “War on the Street” and “Revolution”, at a time when the world was witnessing unprecedented social and political unrest. A pre-warning and timely reminder that love and compassion is the only way forward. 2020 would signal work on his debut E.P but due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, this project was put on hold. In response, Ed decided to create and host a live streaming show called E NOHO (In Māori, means to sit, stay or remain). A passion project born out of his love for NZ music and a platform for fellow NZ artists to help promote connection and mental wellbeing through music and storytelling. To date, the show has been streaming for 4 months, featured over 30 NZ artists and still continues to be the only live streaming show dedicated to emerging NZ artists. E NOHO streams every Wednesday at 8PM (NZST) live on Facebook (www.facebook.com/enoholive). Don't miss co host Emme Lentino's exclusive interview with ED WAAKA right here on Heart of Indie Radio!
