Reggae to Real Estate - Barnaby Weir Collaborates with Tall Poppy

Barnaby Weir is the internationally-acclaimed lead singer of The Black Seeds and member of Fly My Pretties. He has written and recorded a bespoke set of instrumental tracks for our property videos and is also penning our new brand music.

Barnaby wrote and recorded the music at his studio in Kāpiti and Wellington with a range of other local musicians, including his Black Seeds bandmates and award-winning producer Lee Prebble. He says he was drawn to work with Tall Poppy after realising no other company in the industry has tried anything like this before.

The final set of tracks have a uniquely kiwi feel. Barnaby says the collaboration was a rare opportunity, inspired by good people - trying to take what can be a dull industry and turn it into something more.

“It makes total sense to me to not just make background music for pictures but to try and inspire - motivate and make music that resonates with home buyers and sellers in the market. It’s like making every part of the process feel good and be unique - and it should be because you’re buying and selling what is most likely your biggest asset,” Barnaby says.

Michael Cummins, Chief Operating Officer says the team has been fans and supporters of Barnaby’s music for a long-time.

“This is all part of our broader strategy to offer our customers a bespoke and special experience when they’re selling or buying. The music will only be used on property videos that are taken by our in-house Video Content Specialist team, it will be quite unlike anything else available in New Zealand,” says Michael Cummins.
