ISC 2021 Kiwi Semi-Finalists

ISC 2021 Kiwi Semi-Finalists

The International Songwriting Competition has announced the ISC 2021 semi-finalists. It’s a long list that is bursting with Kiwi talent ranging across many categories, particularly under children’s music.

ISC is judged by some of the most famous names in music, and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Chances of a local win look especially strong for children’s music, with nine entries from across Aotearoa this year. These artists have made it through the semi-finals, and we wish them all the best in the final judging process.
