BIGSOUND 2016 Artist Focus: WALLACE

Answered by: Wallace Gollan

Hometown: Wellington

Give us a short description your music: It's been described as "jazz-influenced, soulful vocal, a dynamic artist who exhibits absorbing vocals and clever songwriting".

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? My Raffled Roses single launch! So exciting, finally headlining my own show and having people walking around wearing tees that say WALLACE! 

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? Not gonna lie, I'm always up for a whiskey or two (or several negronis).

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? I leave the industry stuff to my manager. He better be learning all the lessons. 

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at the BIGSOUND showcase? Can't wait to see BUOY and 30/70 do their thing.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? People should just come check out this killer dress we sourced from a young fashion designer based in the UK - Natalie Dawson.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 7 Sep, The Zoo, 10.30pm.
