Rising New Zealand pop artist Frankie Venter releases her debut EP a big deal to me in mid-February, marking a defining moment in the early stages of her career. After a breakout year of international touring and rapid fan growth, the project introduces Frankie as one of Aotearoa’s most exciting new pop voices.

Over the past 12 months, Frankie has performed across New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, including a personal invitation from Coldplay to open two sold-out Eden Park shows, touring with Six60, and a standout summer festival run featuring Rolling Meadows and Coro Classic, with Electric Avenue confirmed as her next major appearance. She was recently nominated for Best Pop Artist at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards and has just completed a sold-out NZ and Australian tour with US artist Malcolm Todd, concluding days before the EP’s release.
