3 Chords & the Truth: The Anika Moa Story

Television (Excerpts) – 2003

I thought I've got to know who this person is...some divine touch came down to this farm in New Zealand and touched this girl. And I have to know more.
– Atlantic Records Co-President Ron Shapiro on first hearing Anika Moa's song 'Youthful'
I'm just really scared of Americans, I'm scared of the whole market and I'm scared of representing my country in a false way, and I'm scared of being Judged by people.
– Anika Moa hits the United States to promote her song 'Youthful'
I really don't think that she was dreaming of pop stardom, or fame or fortune. She was a young girl writing some great songs and really didn't have any idea of the consequences.
– James Southgate, Managing Director of Warner Music NZ
...the people at Atlantic [Records] were blown away by this girl, who just wandered in and didn't really care and played some songs ...
– Tim Groenendaal, Anika Moa's Manager
