 Hollie Smith

 Artist Overview

Hollie Smith was just 16 when she won the Best Female Vocalist prize at the 1999 National Jazz Festival. 2006 album Long Player firmly established the dusky-voiced chanteuse as New Zealand's first lady of soul and saw her signed by the internationally-famed Manhattan Records. Her distinctive southern velvet vocals memorably soared on the Don McGlashan-penned hit 'Bathe in the River', which featured on the soundtrack for the film No.2. At the 2007 New Zealand Music Awards, Smith collected Best Female Solo Artist, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year, amongst Long Player's swag of gongs.
