A.R.T

From singing in their bedrooms to performing for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, A.R.T is a dynamic female trio from Porirua, New Zealand. Comprising Anastasia, Rosetta, and Tiresa, the group combines R&B and Gospel roots with a contemporary sound, captivating audiences with their smooth vocal harmonies and authentic storytelling.
 
After a decade of live performances and viral YouTube covers, A.R.T partnered with IKON Music and producer EDY to create original music that blends Pop, R&B, and light island reggae. Their 2024 breakout single, When He Was Mine, featured a groundbreaking Samoan-language verse, achieved ‘A rotation’ on urban radio, and amassed over half a million YouTube views. It was followed by Easy, another hit that cemented their place in New Zealand’s pop and R&B scene.
 
Their growing success earned A.R.T the coveted primary support slot for the sold-out Josh Tatofi South Pacific Tour, which spanned seven cities across the Pacific, including Auckland, Brisbane, and Wellington. They also performed alongside Tomorrow People and Sons of Zion, two of Aotearoa’s most iconic acts.
 
In 2024, the trio was nominated for two Pacific Music Awards: Best Group and Best Song. During the same year, they began recording their debut EP, Nana’s Garage, a nostalgic covers project inspired by the music of their childhood. The EP has already produced four successful singles’ ”Fia Vaai, Baby Nofo Mai, La Vie Dansante, and Nothing To Say”and was released in early 2025.
 
With international tours and exciting collaborations on the horizon, A.R.T is poised to bring their philosophy of truth, power, and soul to audiences around the globe, marking the start of an extraordinary journey."
