Hosted on Rolling Stone AU/NZ for the third time, INTROS is back to introduce you to the best rising stars in New Zealand music.
Georgia Lines’ popular music web series, brought to you by Spark and Spotify, in partnership with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, and supported by the NZ Music Commission and APRA, sees the Kiwi pop star sitting down with her favourite female and non-binary artists for a relaxed kōrero.
Each episode focuses on the artist’s chosen song, delving into the story behind the song and the process of writing, before the artist treats viewers to a live performance.
Next up in season five is Na’amah, a Tāmaki Makaurau-based singer-songwriter who really does it all: she’s also a session musician, teacher, and co-founded (and directs) the music collective Wāhine in Jazz.

In episode four of the new season of INTROS, which you can watch above, Lines and Na’amah explore life and music in a thoughtful conversation. The latter also performs a stunning song for the host and viewers.
“We are beyond excited to finally introduce you to Na’amah!” Lines says. “We have been huge fans for a long time of her voice, her artistry & incredible gift of storytelling!
“In this episode we talk about her journey with songwriting, studying jazz and co-founding the Wāhine in Jazz collective which aims to support the incredible Wāhine we have in Aotearoa who live in the word of jazz.”
Lines released her debut album, The Rose of Jericho, to wide acclaim in 2024. Rolling Stone AU/NZ gave it a four-star review, and The Rose of Jericho featured prominently in our 50 Best New Zealand Albums of 2024 list.
The Rose of Jericho earned the singer-songwriter four nominations at last year’s Aotearoa Music Awards, including for Album of the Year and Single of the Year (“The Letter”).
