Bic Runga is one of New Zealand’s most treasured musicians, a songwriter and performer whose voice is woven into the soundtrack of Kiwi life. Known for her crystalline vocals and timeless melodies, she has spent more than two decades creating songs that feel both intimate and universal.Her 1997 debut album, ‘Drive’, changed the face of New Zealand pop. Songs like ‘Sway’ and ‘Drive’ captured complex emotions with simplicity and grace. The album went multi-platinum at home, and ‘Sway’ found its way onto Hollywood film soundtracks, carrying her songs far beyond Aotearoa.
The youngest inductee into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame, Bic’s influence can be heard in a new generation of New Zealand musicians who grew up with her songs on the radio and saw in her a model of artistic independence.
In 2026, she returns with a new album ‘Red Sunset’, recorded in Paris in the winter of 2025. Bic’s gift has always been her ability to turn personal truths into shares experiences, inviting listeners into her gentle, thoughtful, and beautifully human world.
Her first single, ‘It’s Like Summertime’, embodies a sense of nostalgia and comfort, recalling a carefree past while also imagining a hopeful future.
