Nikita Tu Bryant

From Voices 10 February 2014

She lives in her favourite black leather jacket given to her by her dad at 18. As a young Eurasian performer her music bridges two cultures and two countries; old Taiwan and contemporary Jazz funk and epic, cinematic folk music. Nikita Tu Bryant has an unforgettable name and a unique way of bringing her two worlds into creative collision. Lynda Chanwai-Earle tracks Nikita across some notable clubs in Wellington to hear what drives this exciting new talent.
