1.Your Profile
Ginny and Stan are two solo artists who have come together to perform a ballad about love – in all of its shapes and forms. They met on the set of X-Factor New Zealand last year when Stan was a judge in the show and Ginny was a guest performer. After hearing Stan’s voice, Ginny approached Stan with the idea of co-writing and performing ‘Holding You’ together. The rest is history.
2.Keeping Busy
SW: I have been busy rehearsing and touring and recording – a lot of work has gone into setting up this song to launch, the time has arrived and we are excited.
GB: I have been finishing my debut album and living it up in California… heeey!
3.Best Gig Ever
GB: The best gig I’ve ever played was at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, where I opened for Ed Sheeran. I thought no-one would know me but the crowd knew all the words to my song ‘Bones’ – so stoked!
SW: The best gig I’ve ever played was in Roebourne in Karratha, WA. I played to the Aboriginal community there and my whole family performed with me. No-one really goes to perform there, the whole town came to watch, it truly was amazing!
4.Current Playlist
SW: I’m obsessed with JoJo. Her voice and her songs are better than anything I’ve heard. She’s about to release her music again, people will love it. I also love ‘Chandelier’ by Sia.
GB: I’m still stuck on the music that made me love music. That would be Lauryn Hill.
5.Your Ultimate Rider
SW: Burgerfuel – definitely Burgerfuel – and a roast; full on, the whole deal.
GB: I would definitely have the best assortment of the world’s finest sashimi. And of course, the best New Zealand wine too.
‘Holding You’ is out Friday June 13 through Sony. Catch Stan Walker at Rock Lily, The Star on Sunday June 8.
