So here it is: Bic Runga wants to make a disco anthem. Tonight, she will receive the NZ Herald Legacy Award and officially be inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame. And I think now about, hypothetically, if I only had 10 more years to make music, what music would I make? Smith was the man who handled Runga's contract negotiations, as Sony, Polygram and Mushroom Music all tried to woo her. Ultimately is was Paul Ellis and Sony Music that won.
