Church & AP

​Church & AP  have taken the industry by storm.   Church (Elijah Manu) and AP (Albert Purcell) are just 18 and 19 years of age.  The pair came together through community music programs in Auckland’s Mount Roskill and Te Atatu, under the watchful eye of artists such as Melodownz and Tom Scott an producer Iron Will.  
After heavy rotate on Mai FM, their single ‘Ready or Not’ made its way to the UK’s famed BBC Radio 1xtra, via tastemaking radio presenter and DJ, Jamz Supernova.  This followed the May release of their debut EP THOROUGH BREAD, which tastemaker blog Sniffers, describes as “an authentically Auckland observation of young Kiwi culture” and “right on the money”.
From there, the duo’s distinctive and self-assured blend of southern/UK rap fused with grime has done all the talking, with songs such as their social media hit ‘Introvert’ winning over fans from the ground up.
