Over their careers, musicians Troy Kingi and Warren Maxwell have shared many musical memories together. Troy still considers his opening set for Trinity Roots at Auckland’s Leigh Sawmill ‘many moons ago’ his most memorable performance.
Both artists have made their mark on the New Zealand music scene, Warren with bands such as Trinity Roots, Little Bushman, and Fat Freddy’s Drop, and Troy with his critically acclaimed genre-bending releases as part of his ten albums in ten years kaupapa.
During lockdown both Troy and Warren slowed down, spent time with family, and reconnected with nature.
