Midnight Mistress - Music Video Project.

Kia Ora te Whanau, I am so so thrilled to have reached my target for my #boostednzcampaign with over 26 donors!!

Thank you to my aiga, my beautiful friends and surprise supporters; I am truly blown away with your generosity and will thank you all personally where I can.

Kia Ora to the #boostednz team and #aklcouncil for helping with this project and a cheeky cheers and virtual hug to the anonymous donors. ✨ This really means a lot to me to have your backing.

With your contributions, I can now confirm the project will definitely go ahead and will lock in dates and the team. I’m having meetings with Sophie (Director) & Pepe (DOP) and we are buzzing with excitement to make Midnight Mistress something really special.

What’s next.

I now have a stretch goal of $8k 🙌 until May 2nd 2022

To reach this next target will mean I can create more content exploring themes of #midnightmistress and what that means to Wahine in Aotearoa to support the music video. 💚 I would love your help to go further than the song. ✨🎶✍️🌺💃🏽

So please… continue to share this boosted campaign: https://boosted.org.nz/projects/midnight-mistress

Thank you thank you thank you to all those who have contributed to this boosted campaign.

We've finished most of the shoot with just a couple more things to add. I couldn't be more thankful and humbled for the amazing crew and friends who have jumped on board to help with this project and it's looking great so far. I can't wait to share it! We plan on releasing this in Spring with more info and sneaky peaks to come xoxox.

Thank you for supporting my musical journey.

Alofa atu. Ema I'u :)
