Christchurch-based artist Vallé talks to Kadambari Raghukumar about rediscovering his connection to Papua New Guinea, his music and running his barbershop alongside everything else.

After a brief hiatus since his EP, Caged Birds, was released in 2022, he is back with a single, 'Not 4 Sale'.

In this episode of Here Now, Vallé reflects on how reconnecting with his birthplace continues to shape numerous aspects of his thought process and his goals as an artist.
