It is 8pm Auckland time and we are on Zoom. Benee is in her new home – she has just moved in with three school friends, only four minutes from her mum and dad, just because. She is wearing her trademark oversized knit and jeans. She has the best smile and so much energy, which is at odds with how she would describe herself to an alien from Mars: “Sleepy, loud and emotional.” We talk about everything Benee/Stella and all that is to come this year and, cautiously, beyond.
