About Ladi6

Ladi6 is one of New Zealand's most acclaimed soul and hip-hop artists, a Christchurch-raised singer of Samoan descent whose warm, jazzy voice anchors a deep groove. Working closely with producer Parks and drummer Julien Dyne, she built a run of award-winning albums that blend neo-soul, hip-hop, and electronic textures. Songs like Like Water made her a critical favorite and a leading light of the Aotearoa soul scene.
