PRINS is back for her third appearance on the podcast, and honestly, I think this might be our best catch-up yet. It's been around six months since we last sat down together, and a lot has happened. Like most artists, there have been plenty of highs, challenges, opportunities, and moments where things haven't quite gone to plan. That's part of the journey, and one of the reasons I love these conversations with PRINS so much. She's always open, honest, and willing to share what life is really like behind the music. In this episode, we look back on the last six months and talk about what's changed, what she's learned, and how her career continues to evolve. We chat about everything from the creative process and writing music through to the business side of being an independent artist in New Zealand. But what really makes this conversation exciting is what's coming next. This week marks the start of a huge new chapter, with PRINS hitting the road on a nationwide roadshow that will take her music to communities around the country. And yes, we talk about the very big truck that's about to become a pretty significant part of her life over the coming weeks! We dive into what listeners and fans can expect from the roadshow, what life looks like when you're constantly on the move, and why she's so excited to get out and connect with people face-to-face through live music. We also talk about the brand-new EP that's on the way, the stories behind some of the songs, and what this body of work means to her as an artist. Creating music is one thing, but releasing it into the world is something else entirely, and PRINS shares some great insights into that process. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a new music video in the works, more live performances around New Zealand, and a tour coming up in just a few months' time. It feels like everything is starting to come together and this conversation captures that excitement perfectly. What I love most about this episode is hearing how grounded PRINS remains despite everything that's happening. She's ambitious, hardworking, incredibly talented, and passionate about connecting with people through her music. Whether you're someone who's been following her journey from the start or this is your first introduction to her work, I think you'll enjoy getting to know the person behind the artist.
