Kingfisha sound highlights heavy and deep all-encompassing rhythms with the feather-light touch and perfect soul vocals. After incredibly well received self-titled debut album with the single ‘Piece of the Puzzle,’ Kingfisha enjoyed touring opportunities that have taken them to places like Southern Africa. Charting nationally across community radio, they won Queensland Music Award and played three stellar tours. Kingfisha were well received on their first New Zealand tour.
