Ngaiire (pronounced nigh-ree, rhymes with fiery) is a boundary-pushing Papua New Guinean/Australian artist fusing electronic future-soul, gospel and alt-pop. Her album 3 earned four ARIA nominations, followed by an acclaimed orchestral release Live at the Sydney Opera House recorded at 2 sold out Sydney Opera House performances (Concert Hall and Forecourt).
She is now birthing a new body of work born from a deeply personal metamorphosis exploring love, motherhood, sex and transformation. After premiering her multi-arts work PAIA at WOMADelaide and Vivid Sydney, Ngaiire is turning her focus out towards the global stage.
Expect a powerful, vocal-driven live show of new and unreleased tunes (alongside one or two you may know) that turns introspection into collective release.
