Benee and her Mum

From her home in Auckland Stella Bennett, better known as musician Benee has been able to grow her pop career despite this year's disruptive pandemic. The 20 year old singer/songwriter was meant to be touring and promoting her debut album Hey U X, but Covid forced a rethink on that. She talks to Kathryn about a year which has included a huge haul of awards and accolades, including the Aotearoa Music Awards single of the year for Supalonely. Benee's Mum, Tania Anderson is now her PA as her career soars.
