GOLDSMITH BAYNES (NZ) is a unique collaboration between soulful vocalist Allana Goldsmith and renowned British jazz pianist Mark Baynes. Performing original vocal jazz in a sublime mix of Te Reo Māori and English, their music weaves indigenous heritage with contemporary jazz artistry, creating songs that linger like a beautiful dream...
Goldsmith Baynes’ critically acclaimed debut album ‘E Rere Rā’, has received international air play on BBC Radio, Jazz FM (UK), CBC (Canada), and Radio New Zealand, and features original songs that carry the essence of Māori culture, reflecting the ancestral folk wisdom and storytelling traditions that have been passed down through generations.

Allana Goldsmith is a Māori contemporary vocalist, songwriter, creative artist, and emerging academic from the East Coast of the North Island of Aotearoa. Her iwi are Ngati Porou and Ngai Tai. Her music and art span a variety of genres, with her strong, original voice as the unifying thread. Recently, in May 2025, Goldsmith Baynes performed at the International Indigenous Music Summit in Toronto. In 2024, Allana attended the Mundial Festival in Montreal, Canada, as a Creative NZ delegate. In 2023, she sang at the Auckland Arts Festival, opening the He Kete Waiata event for Whirimako Black at Auckland Town Hall.

Under the artist name ALCHEMY, Allana recorded a reimagined jazz vocalist album, featuring as lead vocalist on “Sensitive to a Smile” (Herbs) and “Slice of Heaven” (Dave Dobbyn). Alchemy were finalists for the Recorded Music NZ Best Jazz Artist award in 2020. Allana has also released an EP of five original Reo Māori waiata titled The Waka Kura Sessions, three of which were funded by Te Māngai Pāho. Her 2015 song ‘He Rā Ki Tua’ charted in the Top 20 Te Reo Māori Music Airplay Charts for 36 weeks, peaking at number 6.

Mark Baynes is a British jazz pianist with a contemporary leaning. He has performed alongside jazz giants such as Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea), Mark Kramer (Eddie Gomez), Cley Jenkins (Buddy Rich & Count Basie), Andy Vargas (Santana), Mireya Ramos (Latin GRAMMY Award winner), the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, and a Broadway cast. Baynes was a guest arranger for the award-winning (Aotearoa Music Awards 2021) Royal New Zealand Ballet production of Hansel and Gretel, written by acclaimed composer Claire Cowan, and recorded for an album by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in 2020. In 2021, Baynes collaborated with Troy Kingi on a soon-to-be-released single and composed and recorded an album with Latin Grammy Award winner Mireya Ramos (NYC).

Immerse yourself in lush vocals that carry you gently on the tai of Aotearoa.
