Being a full-time artist in New Zealand is not an easy task, but some say it is possible! Kwyze became a professional soccer player at the age of 16. Then, he immersed himself in the world of dance, performing with many international acts, and now he is recording his own music, making waves in the Auckland scene. He comes to have a chat with the ALTBAYS Table Talk crew tonight. Watch it here now!
Show 258 - Kwyze (NZ Artist/Professional Dancer)
Welcome to the ALTBAYS Table Talk (Feat. Leo Magri)
Kwyze is a New Zealand artist from Taranaki. He was a professional soccer player at the age of 16 playing in the city of Dallas/Texas in America.
He ran off the field and made his way into the dance scene. He then received a 2 year Scholarship that moved him over to Melbourne.
When the scholarship finished he became a professional back up dancer for two years performing for Maja Salvador/Jay Sean/The Fugues/Vice Ganda & more with a company/dance-crew he created called UBM.
He is now introducing new music to the world. He has experienced so much in this world traveling, but one thing that took him a while to understand was the amount of people that were stuck in thought.
All the lyrics in his tracks have the effect to teleport you through the cosmos, as they all come from a thoughtless space that he has complete trust in. He believes once you are in touch and comfortable with your inner self - depending on the degree of that acceptance, whatever you do in this world will reflect from the quality of that acceptance.
His main intention of being an artist is to share that you can go through the lowest lows & the highest highs, but as the rollercoaster of life flows and changes ever so quickly, no matter the speed of such change.
It's completely possible to remain as the observer as that's where true creativity unfolds in life
