A close collaborator and dear friend, he produced and co-wrote on my recent album, Manawa Wera, and continues to wear many hats including musical director, actor, mentor oh and did I mention he's a BEAST of a singer? Ko wai atu - ko Laughton Kora.
Born and bred in Whakatāne, you'll recognise his incredible set of pipes from the legendary KORA - undoubtedly one of the most prolific bands to ever emerge out of Aotearoa. The ultimate tutu, this consummate heavy metal-er chats to me candidly about it all - his upbringing, creativity, making music, leaving Kora and where to next.

P.S we end slightly differently on this episode, it craaaacked me up so I left it in.
