Wallace

Wallace is the name used by more than one act. One is Wallace Gollan, a future soul singer and songwriter whose music draws on traditional jazz, hip hop, soul and blues. Her father’s strong interest in blues shapes her musical style, and her work is described as combining elements that place her alongside artists such as Erykah Badu, Little Dragon, Carmen McRae and Sarah Vaughan. She is noted for a distinctive voice, strong stage presence, and jazz-trained phrasing that she uses to build layered harmonies.

Gollan has released five singles and wins early awards in New Zealand. She also receives international attention through positive reviews, high-profile support slots, and playlist additions. Her live work includes support shows for Slum Village, and she wins the JJJ Unearthed Listen Out slot for Sydney. She also collaborates with Kraak and Smaak and with Australian artist Sampa the Great.
