CLAUDIA ROBIN GUNN

Transcript

Claudia Robin Gunn, highly respected and admired singer-songwriter and producer of children’s music and big-time contributor to her East Auckland communities, joined us in-studio to talk about her much-deserved recent accolade, a NZ Music Award, for her album in 2023, Firefly.

Last month’s NZ Music Awards featured flash new Tūī prizes, cherished totara wood worked by hand, and the first recipient was Claudia Robin Gunn, winner of the Best Children’s Music Artist at the 2024 Children’s Music Awards.

www.thebigidea.nz says: ‘Gunn’s triumph is one well earned. Already an award-winning performer, songwriter, illustrator, and video producer, Gunn’s built a strong reputation both locally and internationally with her dedication to her craft. Through her own independent label and publishing company, Little Wild Music, Gunn’s catalogue contains six albums, two EPs and over 70 videos of original folk-pop for children – with over 15 million streams to her name.’

Gunn told The Big Idea: “Winning the Tūī feels like a beautiful smile and hug from the wider music community that tells me ‘keep going’, ‘believe in what you’re doing’, and ‘the rollercoaster is worth it’.”
