Hi guys. I am “Frankly” AKA Francis (Frank) Chiaroni and I am a solo musician living in Hastings, Hawke’s Bay. The main instrument I play is the piano and I also sing. I can play the guitar and the flute, and am learning how to play bass. I dedicate a lot of my time towards producing my own music in my home studio as well as learning a variety of song covers.

I’m currently studying a bachelor of music through IDEASchool and I am in my second year completing my course. I have performed at venues such as The Cabana, Paisley Stage, and Urban Winery and it has admittedly been an incredible part of my journey. You can find me on Instagram, Spotify, Bandzoogle, Youtube, and Bandcamp. I’m open ...

Hi, I’m Addz. I sing a wide range of songs and take inspiration from artists like Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers, and James Arthur. My musical journey started during the second wave of COVID-19 when I began singing out of boredom. About a year later, I picked up the guitar and taught myself how to play, and I’ve been singing and playing on and off ever since. Right now, I’m just enjoying making music and seeing where it takes me. I haven’t released any singles or worked on any major collaborations yet, but I’m excited to keep exploring my sound and evolving as an artist.

Power emerged in the mid-80s from the labyrinth of Liverpool’s abundant musical wealth. Built around the nucleus of Richard Jackman and Mark Lewis.

Also at that time they had a publishing contract with Warner Chappell Music. Whilst signed they released several singles and toured the UK with numerous top artists including their heroes the Temptations. They were also the headlining act for Paul Kelly. Powers first single Work Hard was A listed by the UK’s premier radio station, Radio one. At this time the video which accompanied this single had more requests at the bars and clubs in Europe than Bowie/Jaggers dancing in the street. In 1991 Richard emigrated to New Zealand where he has continued to write and perform ...
