Naomi co-leads WOSOSI with Pam Hughes - a Wellington based acapella choir that sings world music, gospel, waiata and other songs that fit with the WOSOSI wairua. Singing, including in choirs, has been a big part of Naomi’s life and on moving to Wellington she sang with Cantoris for a time before joining WOSOSI in 2008. After a couple of years she started teaching and leading a few songs as assistant to then Music Director Bert van Dijk, gradually taking on a larger role.

“It’s an amazing feeling to teach and lead acapella singing, gradually building the music part by part and creating something joyous”
