Lachie Holt – The Kaupapa Kid

Kia ora, I’m Lachie Holt — a music journalist based in Aotearoa, sometimes known as The Kaupapa Kid. I’m passionate about telling the stories behind the music, especially those that reflect our culture, our communities, and the issues that matter. I write with a kaupapa-driven approach, aiming to uplift voices that don’t always get the spotlight. Whether it’s reviewing local gigs, interviewing emerging artists, or exploring the deeper layers of our music scene, I’m here to contribute something thoughtful, honest, and grounded in respect for the art and the people behind it.
