Kiwi singer Tusekah's been building up a reputation as one to watch, and it seems like some other major artists have taken notice.

She's supported a range of notable artists including PJ Morton, Deva Mahal, and Olivia Dean on tour.

She says opening for Olivia Dean represented a lot of firsts for her, and she revealed that getting the gig was just a matter of reaching out and staying persistent. 

"It was just really surreal - and then the support that I got from her audience was amazing as well, so I'm super grateful to have had that opportunity."
