Recommended artists from New Zealand: Popular international singers and singer-songwriters

New Zealand is a lesser-known hotspot for great music.

That’s because many New Zealand artists go abroad and make a name for themselves.

As a fellow island nation with almost no time difference despite being in opposite hemispheres, and often called a neighbor by longitude, it’s interesting to listen to the music of this country.
