MEET OUR SPEAKERS 

We have ½ of the podcast duo Victoria Harris, co-founder of The Curve, where, alongside Sophie they explore the world of finance and investing without any complicated jargon. Whether you're a seasoned investor, or starting from the very beginning - their podcast intention is to help the everyday woman to progress towards a more financially stable future.

Victoria is a 30-something Kiwi with over ten years in the investment and finance industry.
 As an investment manager and wealth management expert.

The Curve is a platform for women to learn more about money. Their money. And the money they want to make, for the future they want to have. The Curve is a safe space for women to get investment-savvy, without the noise and confusion. A place for women to learn about investing in a way that makes sense to them, and makes sense for their lifestyle.

We get the privilege to delve into the development of the project and
 chat its growth and success.

The Scottish-born, Auckland-based live music veteran and entrepreneur Stuart Clumpas moved to Aotearoa in 2001 with his family to retire. Instead, he and his team took a fledgling Vector Arena struggling to find its way, and turned it into today’s internationally respected Spark Arena and Tuning Fork venues.
 
 From T in the park festival, V Festival, artist management, running world-class venues, and former chairman of Live Nation New Zealand, Stuart is uniquely placed to give view from a global perspective. The mastermind at the forefront of the Scottish live music scene, Clumpas established the legendary venue, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. It supported stars from Radiohead to The Killers, Manic Street Preachers, and Snow Patrol at the start of their careers.

As far as industry credentials go, it’s hard to find better. Phoenix is very much looking forward to sitting down in our relaxed setting and having a chat about all things music, business and entrepreneurship.

Tim has a significant portfolio in the world of creative production, bringing to life and co-creating The Great New Zealand Songbook, The Great New Zealand Cookbook, and The Offering Project, as well as international productions including America The Great Cookbook. He has collaborated closely with artists across many disciplines and has a flair for balancing the creative and commercial ambitions of projects and partners. A passionate art collector, Tim sees NFTs as both a new frontier for creative adventurers and a powerful way to champion and empower artists.

Glorious works with the world’s finest artists, musicians, athletes and rights holders to create authentic, digital masterpieces. The team curates world-class, breath-taking content at the cutting edge of this new artistic frontier to deliver enduring and

 timeless works of art.

NOURI’s extraordinary story is one of empowerment and inspiration, emerging from her challenging experiences in a Syrian refugee camp to become a blossoming music star on the worldstage. NOURI’s music introduces a unique creative force in the music industry with her distinctive soulful husky vocal tones and superlative songwriting. She’s been named the one to watch and the up-and- coming breakout star by PopDust, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia.
 
 Success quickly found her, as she jetted halfway around the world to Los Angeles to work with Grammy Award-winning producer Brian Kennedy who has worked with Rihanna and Lady Gaga. It was not long before critics and industry insiders picked up on this unique talent. Within a month of her first release, she was performing the US National Anthem live for the Dodgers, the LA Clippers VS. NY Knicks and LA Clippers VS. Golden State Warriors. She then went on to perform for Teen CancerAmerica, KIIS FM’s Miles of Music 5K, opened for SIX60 with a crowd of 22,000 people and recently attended the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. With her anticipated album.

WALLACE - LIVE PERFORMANCE 

Post our speaking section, we are featuring the electric Wellington based artist, Wallace.
 Be absolutely treated to a special intimate set.

Celebrated for her electric live show, Wallace has previously toured and collaborated alongside the likes of Rag ‘N’Bone Man, Morcheeba, Little Simz, Jordan Rakei, Electric Wire Hustle, Kllo, Winston Surfshirt, Ngaiire, The Kite String Tangle and Sola Rosa. Wallace recently released her debut album, COLOURS, which has been setting the radio waves alight this year.

AND OTHER COLOURS is a journey into the intriguing world of her soul, hip hop, pop and jazz influenced sound. The album takes in emotion driven tracks like ‘Orchid Care’, to nostalgic bops like ‘Arcade Queen’, and everything in-between. As Wallace describes: “AND OTHER COLOURS is a love letter to my favourite hues, linking my very visual way of moving through the world with the abstract, sonic space I love.”
