Helping Asian musicians to get more recognition - and more gigs - is the aim of the new Wellington Asian Music Network.

Co-founder is poet, singer and electronic music producer Nadia Freeman, who performs as Miss Leading.

Nadia describes her style as combining happy melodic beats with depressing poetry!  She's returned home after living and performing in the UK for several years.

While in managed isolation she worked on a multi-sensory show Eat These Words that's about to premiere at the New Zealand Fringe in the Capital.    It promises a tasty combination of poetry, music - and food.

Lynn Freeman asks Nadia Freeman why the need for the Wellington Asian Musicians Network.

Eat These Words opens March 11th at the Pyramid Club in Wellington as part of the New Zealand Fringe Festival.
