A COWGIRL'S DREAM

Sadie Wech

Southland-born singer-songwriter Sadie Wech is an emerging New Zealand artist with a heartfelt approach to storytelling and a lifelong connection to music. Raised in a small rural farming community alongside four younger siblings, Sadie grew up surrounded by strong family values and musical influence, including a grandmother classically trained in opera and coached by the same teacher as Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.

 

Sadie’s debut single, “You and I,” was written after she was asked to sing at a wedding. A self-described hopeless romantic, she wanted to create something personal for the couple, capturing the emotions that are often difficult to say but easily expressed through song. The track went on to earn Sadie the Solo Female Artist Award at the 2024 MLT NZ Gold Guitar Awards.

 

Now based in Arrowtown, Sadie also runs her own business in massage therapy and biomechanics, reflecting her passion for helping people live without limitation. Her current single, “A Cowgirl’s Dream,” continues her gift for visual storytelling. The song explores the emotional pull of reconnecting with an old flame, the déjà vu of young love, and the lasting charm of a cowboy who never quite lets go.

Richie’s musical journey began at the pivotal age of 14 when he first picked up a guitar, finding a voice in the six-string that would soon define his path. Growing up in the quiet, pastoral landscapes of Plainwell, Michigan, the small-town atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for a budding songwriter to hone his craft.

By 18, Richie hit a creative milestone with the composition of his first original song, "Follow Your Dreams." The track was more than just a debut; it was a mission statement that compelled him to dive headfirst into the depths of the music industry. That commitment eventually culminated in his first full-length album, *Joan*. A deeply personal project, the record serves as a tribute to his grandmother, Joan, honoring the unwavering support and belief she invested in his talent from the very beginning.
