Kowtow Loves #05

Nadia Reid is a musician, originally from Port Chalmers in Aotearoa New Zealand. Nadia has been a friend of ours for a long time. Her reflective lyrics and dreamy soundscapes often soar through the Kowtow stores. Now living in Manchester, with a new album due to be released early next year, she’s returning to our shores to tour across New Zealand and Australia. We spoke to Nadia in anticipation of her first show back home.

Cafe Freda’s is a neighbourhood eatery in Sydney that believes in culture, community, music, good time fun and kindness. Founded by Dave Abram with wife, Creative Director and artist Carla Uriarte, it’s a hub filled with colour and intrigue. Carla’s art is full of bold colours, a delight to the Kowtow team.
