We’re Bare Bones. But We’re Still Here.

Does KiwiRadio look a little different? There’s a reason.

Rising music licensing costs have forced us to strip things back to the essentials. We pay per type of feature offered. And it is adding up.

But the mission hasn’t changed - giving independent Kiwi artists a place to be heard, discovered and remembered.

We’re an independent team building something for the creative community.
We’re not trying to look big. We’re trying to stay here.

If you believe independent NZ music deserves a platform, now is the time to back us and help keep the signal alive.
