Hayley Westenra chats to I Like Music

At 19, Hayley Westenra has achieved more than most people would hope to in their entire lives. She has sung for presidents, queens and prime ministers, she has become a committed ambassador for UNICEF, and has sold over 3 million records worldwide.

And although New Zealander Hayley has settled in England, the inspiration for her third album comes from nearer home. Her family has always been musical, and her grandmother was a singer in her earlier years. Hayley learnt many of the songs on this record by having them passed down to her through the generations. She felt it was time to recognise that debt by presenting her own gorgeous versions of them on here new album, Treasure, release in February 2007.

I Like Music caught up with the hugely talented Hayley Westenara to talk about her new album, singing for presidents and Queens, and getting girls to school.

"I Like Music because… it feeds the soul, it balances you and there's always a song for every mood that you're in." HAYLEY WESTENRA

ILM: Your new album, Treasure is out now, released this week, just incredibly lovely. Many of the songs have been passed down to you through the generations. Was it a bit like going through an old photo album, sifting through these old songs from your family album?
