Award winning singer, rapper and songwriter, Tom Scott has announced a huge gig. He will perform a headline show at the iconic Civic Theatre in Auckland in November.

What's more, Tom has a new album coming out - his first solo effort after releases with Home Brew and Avantdale Bowling Club.

The performer known for jazz influenced hip hop infused with social and political commentary, is a previous recipient of the prestigious Taite Music Prize.  

He joins Jesse in the studio to talk about the upcoming album - ANITYA - which has been described as "raw as exposed nerves after a car crash and as tender as the final kiss goodbye."
