Guest Interview: Casual Healing: 14 May, 2026

"Perfection is like the benchmark now... And everything's polished and clean and auto-tuned and... Fuck that. That ain't real, you know? And just like in life, you know, you don't get second chances. If you say that thing, it comes out your mouth. That's out."

Get into your elemental feels with Kāpati artist Casual Healing as he joins Sofía Kent Padilla to discuss the final instalment of his four-part musical release: from WAI (water), AHI (fire), HAU (wind), and now completing the cycle, ONE (earth). 

Casual Healing discusses banana bread, young parenthood, the divine feminine of WAI, and the messy, organic, lifegiving force of Papatūānuku in his latest EP ONE.

"Stand firm in your beliefs in who you are. Do what makes you happy and what makes your soul shine. Stay off your phone eat that good kai. Get some sleep. Get that wind in your face everyday and get your toes in the grass. Keep healing.
