The songwriters are the architects of the modern cultural ecosystem. The art of turning life experiences into songs is something that takes years to learn and is somewhat of a calling.

These songs when played live, even with just an acoustic guitar and vocal can cut through the noise like magic.

Bryce Wastney is a well travelled singer/songwriter based in Nelson, New Zealand. With a career spanning over 2 decades, his songs are inspired by likes of Cat Stevens, Neil Finn, Glen Hansard, Dave Dobbyn and Travis.

Bryce’s music naturally traverses the pop-rock, country and folk genres – always soulful whatever the genre, it’s the ideal soundtrack for the traveller and free spirit in us all.

Live gigs are both heartwarming and a comedic experience as he explains the story behind the songs in a way only someone who has lived these stories can. Beautifully crafted songs capture your imagination and with a relaxed and engaging stage presence you’ll find yourself getting drawn in to the music while time stands still.

His songs are highly regarded for their cinematic atmospheres where some of his tracks have featured on both TV and in hundreds of cinemas around the world.

Bryce is currently recording his 4th studio album with world class producer Dan Healy (UK) who has produced & written songs for International stars like Ronan Keating, Lewis Capaldi and more.
