Live Q&A with Mike Chunn

EMA Directors Eliette and Nick had the privilege of sitting down for a chat with New Zealand Music Industry Icon Mike Chunn.

Eliette first met Mike when she was only 14. He visited her school as a guest to check out the bands performing. It’s been a very special relationship over the years and his guidance, wisdom and support has been such a comfort.

Mike has had an amazing career in music, from playing in two of New Zealand’s great bands Split Enz and Citizin Band, to heading APRA in New Zealand (Australasian Performing Right Association) and founding Play It Strange, which supports and encourages young New Zealanders to write, record and perform their own songs.

Eliette, Nick and Mike’s talk cover it all, from Mike’s first musical experience, performing live and being part of a band, as well as some great stories from his experiences in the music industry.

We hope you enjoy our chat with Mike!
