New Zealand and Australia’s finest step up with Live From Happy: Superstar Sessions
Live From Happy: Superstar Sessions, a collab between Happy Mag and adidas Originals, is where Kiwi and Aussie artists get to make music with zero boundaries.
Tracks start from scratch, cameras rolling, capturing the raw, unscripted energy that only comes when musicians bring their full selves to the studio.
Aotearoa talent has been front and centre. Kiwi rap duo Church & AP joined forces with DJ/producer Sollyy, turning one high-pressure session into a fully formed track, proving that sometimes “pressure makes diamonds.”
PANIA, fresh off PITY PARTY, linked with Bundjalung producer Mr Rhodes. In under 12 hours, with Rhodes on keys and PANIA freestyling like she’d lived with the song for weeks, they delivered The Streets Don’t Feel the Same (Freestyle) – a stripped-back, magnetic R&B gem.
And eighteen-year-old indie-pop artist IXARAS paired with producer Dave Jenkins JR to build Fabric—a sparkling, vulnerable track born entirely from nothing.
From indie-pop to rap to R&B, Live From Happy: Superstar Sessions is a front-row seat to Aotearoa and Australia’s most exciting voices, proving that when talent meets trust, magic happens.
Massive thanks to adidas Originals for backing the series.
