#30 Paige

In this week’s episode, Dave sits down with Paige — the platinum-selling, award-winning singer-songwriter from Auckland — for a heartfelt kōrero about purpose, healing, and chasing the dream. From growing up in a close whānau in Clarks Beach to finding her voice through music, Paige opens up about navigating self-doubt, forgiveness, and growth — both as an artist and as a person. Together they talk faith, consistency, and the power of manifestation — and how a shout-out from Billie Eilish helped turn a small-town dream into a global reality.
