Youth Led Success: Rising NZ Band Where's Jai Drop Album & Tour At 18

Where's Jai, a fast-emerging, high-energy, pop rock band from Tāmaki Makaurau. Known for chaotic fun and emotionally charged shows. Fronted by two dynamic powerhouse female singers Grace Allis and Leigh Edmeades, backed by Michael Walmsley (guitar), Jai Nielsen (bass), and Gene Todd (drums). Formed in 2021 and now all just 18, they have quickly made a name for themselves through their magnetic stage presence. They first exploded online when their third single, Perfect Crime gained global attention. With a rapidly growing fan base, the band is fast becoming one of Aotearoa's most exciting new acts. With their debut album Fresh Out of Air dropping in July 2025 backed by a North Island tour, the band is charging into the next phase of their journey with momentum, style, and soul.
