Joel Little and Savina Fountain on the creation of Big Fan

10 years ago, Joel Little was an ex-pop punk singer who’d set up a small studio to record music for commercials. By the end of the year he'd produced a #1 single in the US, and since his enormous success with Lorde’s Pure Heroine album he has worked with a galaxy of stars. Now he’s set up Big Fan, a community space comprising studios and a venue, run by Savina Fountain, a veteran of Aotearoa's live music scene. They both join Duncan Greive on The Fold to tell the story of Big Fan and the vital function they see it as performing for New Zealand music. Learn more about your ad choices.
