In the lead up to this year's Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards we have asked some of the finalists to share their personal New Zealand music mixtapes, including all-time favourites or current picks.
Reggae-rock band Soljah, lead by soulful singer Ben Ratima, have been making a name for themselves across New Zealand with their single Message.
Soljah have now been nominated in this year's NZ Music Awards for Best Roots Album for their album Aotearoa.
Have a listen to songs from some of Ben Ratima of Soljah's favourite New Zealand artists.
