Hold Tight, Yonder

Made up of homegrown heavyweights Chase Woods, Choicevaughn and Brandon Shiraz, the trio have just dropped “Hold Tight”, a track that feels like both a statement and a promise of what’s to come.

There’s a richness to the track that reflects who they are: artists shaped by Māori and Pasifika heritage, telling stories that feel both personal and universal.
