Aaradhna finally makes the NZ Music Awards relevant
All hail the new Queen Aaradhna Patel for finally making the NZ Music Awards relevant with her staunch stance against the racism of the NZ Music industry.
The ‘white-musician-is-an-artist-and-the-brown-one-is-an-entertainer’ mentality has always suffocated progressiveness in the music industry.
The NZ Awards have deteriorated into an industry old boys back slapping club with all the predictability of stoners passing around a joint.
They’ve become as relevant to culture as the Ministry of Youth Affairs.
Queen Aaradhna Patel changed that.
Long live the Queen!
The “NZ Music Awards” have always been dishonestly titled.
In reality they are the “pop music industry” awards with a merest token of a nod toward other musical genres such as classical etc.
