Toi + The NZ Olympic Team - Ain't Just Dreaming
With the countdown officially ticking down to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Wellington band TOI have paired up with the New Zealand Olympic Team for Paris 2024 (The New Zealand Team) to deliver an uplifting anthem, ‘Ain’t Just Dreaming’, featuring two of the country’s most promising Olympians, Ellesse Andrews and Max Brown.
‘Ain’t Just Dreaming’ came about when Olympic Cycling Silver medallist Ellesse Andrews, Tokyo 2020 Olympian Max Brown and the New Zealand Olympic Committee came up with the idea to write a song that would resonate with their fellow athletes. With Max having studied music at Jazz School in Wellington with some of the members of TOI, they immediately knew who to turn to help them bring the song to life.
“TOI has a beautiful mixture of soul and reggae music, which is a big part of New Zealand music… they were the first to come to mind,” says Max.
