Troy Kingi’s newest album is about birth, school, love, sleep, work, death ... the everyday phases and stages that people relate to.
Kingi (Te Arawa, Ngāpuhi) wrote Black Sea Golden Ladder as part of the Matairangi Mahi Toi Artist Residency programme at Government House, in partnership with Massey University.
It is the fifth instalment of his 101010 project, where he plans to write 10 albums across 10 genres in 10 years.
