In between traveling to Wellington for a Vodafone in-store signing and performing on a billboard, Dane Rumble managed to fit in a quick Q & A with Ren as the countdown to the VNZMA’s 2010 begins.
How did you feel when you found out you were a finalist?
I was over the moon! It’s a very satisfying feeling to be recognized for your music. When you invest so much blood, sweat and tears into something, it’s nice to know that somebody out there enjoys it.
Any idea what you might wear on the big night?
Still trying to work that out.
What are you most looking forward to about the VNZMA’s this year?
I’m really looking forward to performing! We’re doing something special for the opening… and we’re hoping people will be into it.
Of the other nominees, is there anyone you think really deserves a win?
I think Stan is super talented and hope he gets something… Gin has had a big year too.
Any good luck charms you’ll be taking along or wearing?
Just a piece of Culet, from the Blackwater range.
Have you cleared a space for your Tui? Where would you display it?
If I won one I’d probably sleep with it on my pillow. Or hook it up to a gold chain, and wear it around my neck.

Dane you are amazing… I remember the first time I heard your song ‘Always be Here’ it was at my cousins funeral. since then every time I hear it it makes me think of the good times. Your other songs are awesome too.
I love that if you won you’d hang your Tui award around your neck.. it might be a bit heavy, but it’ll be something really cool to make a statement with.
Keep up the great music Dane. and GOOD LUCK!
Way to go must be great to be recognised for your art esp in NZ where it is so hard to succeed in the industry…awesome!!
