About
"This song is for all the kids in the world..." SHINE • NGĀ WHAKAMĀRAMA
Shine is a song that celebrates children.
It is a father’s message to his child, encouraging her to dream big and pursue any path her heart desires.
This song is for “all the kids in the world” and reminds them that they can achieve whatever they set their minds to, so long as they have the support and love of their parents and wider family.
Shine has a strong, comfortable feel that is clear and joyful, which we believe represents us truthfully.
It feels right that this song should be our first voice in the world.
