Welcome to Locals Only the New Zealand music podcast where we talk Aotearoa’s finest musicians about the soundtracks of their lives. Joining me today is an artist who has an unbridled knack for catching the eyes, ears and hearts of some music's biggest names.

Notably, the multiple grammy award winning artist Billie Eilish and recently the disney channel breakout who’s as sweet as a slice of cake by the ocean, Joe Jonas. And she did so with two things, her guitar and her voice.

So, what happens when that guitar and that voice are combined with a litany of smooth harmonies, catchy melodies and a vulnerable sense of growth and optimism? You get King Clown. The stunning new album available on Vinyl and wherever you stream music. This week on Locals Only it’s, PAIGE!!
