Boh Runga burst onto the scene in 1999, the frontwoman of award-winning pop-rock Kiwi band Stellar.
She’s gone on to become something of a multi-hyphenate, with fingers in various pies.
The singer, songwriter, and musician has become a household name, expanding her enterprises to include designing, jewellery making, and even writing a book.
Runga is taking part in the world-first Pride Synthony event, where popular music genres and hits are married together with classical orchestral music.
The pride event is the first of its kind, and set to be an incredibly inclusive event not just for those in the queer community.
“It’s featuring a lot of artists over different genres of music coming together to celebrate the music that I guess Pride, if you can say, is famous for,” Runga told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame.
“Like disco, and like, great gay icons, I guess.”
“I’m chuffed to be a part of it.”
She told Tame that when the email came, she replied straight away, which she reveals is unusual for her.
“This was such a special one. I’m so pleased to be a part of it.”
