Pam Sheyne - Multi-Platinum Songwriter & Singer, Vocal Producer, Mentor.
Los Angeles-based Kiwi, Pam Sheyne, is one of the most influential New Zealanders in global pop. She's a multi-platinum songwriter & singer whose songs have sold more than fifty million records. Her credits include co-writing Christina Aguilera's global number one hit, Genie in a Bottle, and she has over 100 platinum awards to her name.
Pam, who whakapapas to Ngāi Tahu, is also a winner of an Ivor Novello Award - one of the highest international honours a songwriter can receive - and her songs have been recorded by artists ranging from Demi Lovato & Seal to Jessica Simpson, the Backstreet Boys, & Camila Cabello. As a singer, she’s performed with some extraordinary names - Elton John, Celine Dion, the Pet Shop Boys, Cyndi Lauper, Tom Jones, & Dave Stewart among them. Her work has also appeared in films and TV shows from The Princess Diaries & The Young Victoria to Camp Rock & Dance Your Ass Off.
In this pod, Pam talks to me about her early days in music, her successful collaborations with musicians and song-writers globally, and the impact on her career after co-writing Genie in a Bottle. We discuss the impact of streaming and AI on songwriters, and the advocacy work she has done as a founding member of Songwriters of North America (SONA). Lastly, we look at Pam's side business - SongWriterCamps - where she and her business partner help educate independent songwriters, artists, & producers so they make money from their music. This includes an upcoming camp in Melbourne and Pam's hopes to work with Kiwi songwriters a little closer to her homeland.

On behalf of OFNZ, thank you for listening and sharing the pod.
My huge thanks to the Kiwi Flees for candid conversations, and to my sound engineer Robbie Mulligan and the team at Matrix Digital (Wgtn).
