Breaking into the NZ country music scene, TheWesternGuide has been steadily releasing music in 2025, with his latest single “50 Note” as recent as September 24th. TWG has been consistently securing Apple and Spotify editorial playlists, boasting a growing audience in NZ, Australia and USA.

The NZ born Samoan artist was nominated for Pacific Music Award in 2025 for his single “Bottom of the bed” and was featured on the 2025 finale episode of popular NZ TV Show “7 Days” performing his song “Burden” humorously rewritten to reflect a news story at the time.

TheWesternGuide looks to make an appearance on an upcoming tour as well as working on releasing an EP (working title “Paper Cowboys”) before the year is over.
