SOLA ROSA

Sola Rosa, the ever-evolving project of Andrew Spraggon, stands as one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most inventive musical exports. Over the past twenty-five years, Spraggon has built a reputation as a master of reinvention, blending soul, R&B, funk, jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music into a sound that is unmistakably his own. Warm, polished and relentlessly creative, his catalogue has amassed more than 65 million streams globally while attracting an international audience stretching from Berlin to São Paulo, Paris and beyond. Collaborations and remixes from artists including Tall Black Guy, Hermitude, and DJ Vadim further underline the global reach of the Sola Rosa sound.

Since winning ‘Best Electronic Release’ at the 2001 New Zealand Music Awards for his debut album Solarized, Spraggon has consistently evolved while remaining one of New Zealand’s most respected genre-blending producers. Across eight studio albums, he has crafted a body of work that moves seamlessly between dance music, soul, funk, and cinematic electronica, earning praise from tastemakers including Rolling Stone and Mojo, while performing at festivals such as Secret Garden Party, Green Man, WOMAD, Shambhala, and Kendall Calling.

In 2026, Sola Rosa celebrated 25 years of music with the release of his acclaimed eighth studio album, In The Mids — a groove-driven, studio-focused record marking a bold new chapter for the project. Released on April 10, the album quickly became one of his strongest-performing releases to date, powered by standout singles including “Jupiter” featuring Iva Lamkum, “What You Need” featuring Blush’ko, and “Losing Time” featuring Muroki. The album debuted high on the New Zealand charts and received widespread support across streaming platforms, radio, and editorial playlists, alongside strong praise for its sophisticated fusion of electronic production, soul textures, and late-night dancefloor energy.

Created during and after the Covid lockdown period, In The Mids saw Spraggon move away from the live-band framework of recent releases and return to a more instinctive, producer-led approach. The result is a record that feels both fresh and unmistakably Sola Rosa — layered synths, heavy grooves, soulful vocals, and meticulous studio craftsmanship combining into what many have described as a full-circle moment for the project.

As Sola Rosa moves into its next era, Andrew Spraggon remains firmly at the forefront of contemporary New Zealand music — continually reshaping his sound while staying true to the groove-heavy, soul-infused production that has defined his career for more than two decades.
