NZ Music Awards: Shona Laing's mixtape (+audio)

Shona Laing is recieving the 'Herald' Legacy Award at this year's VNZMAs.

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.

Shona Laing stepped into the spotlight at age 17 on the show New Faces, quickly gained fame for her songs Show Your Love and 1905. Four decades on, the singer/songer writer's passion for art and music is still going strong, performing small shows around the country for her fans.

Shona Laing will be honoured tonight at the NZ Music Awards, recieving this year's Herald Legacy Award, welcoming her into the NZ Music Hall of Fame.
