Pukekohe siblings Jacob, 24 and Christy, 22, Sahota of Sahota Vision describe their music as a little bit of everything: fun, exciting, and emotional.
Inspiration comes from a wide variety but depends on how the duo are feeling at the time they write. They have a few sad songs written when they were going through some tough times, or when they saw what the world was going through.
Conversely, they also have a lot of fun songs that centre on enjoying themselves, that people can get up and dance to.
“Our music’s a little bit of everything, it’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s emotional, you can connect to it however you like. We just enjoy putting out what we want people to experience through our perspective and our journey,” said Christy.
All the music is produced by Vince Harder, described by Jacob as “a great father, a friend, and an amazing artist” has produced most of their songs.
On June 20, they travelled to India for 12 days and shot two music videos and two songs.
They released a song called Pull Up, made with Deep Jandu, a Canadian record producer, and rapper J.Hind (real name Dinesh Sharma), and a mix of different genres.
Despite growing up on the outskirts of Auckland, the siblings have found success and have carved out a niche for themselves. Christy puts this down to social media levelling the playing field in terms of access and visibility.
“I think technology has played a big part as well, having social media as a foundation of getting it out there.”
Last year, Sahota Vision released their first Punjabi single Don’t Leave Me.
