The hall was created in 2007 by Recorded Music NZ (then known as the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ)) and the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA).[1] Two inductions are made into the hall each year,[2] one at the APRA Silver Scroll Awards, decided by APRA, and the other is the winner of the Legacy Award at the New Zealand Music Awards (NZMA), picked by Recorded Music NZ.[3] The Hall of Fame has plans to hold a gala dinner to induct larger numbers of artists.[4]

As of October 2018, 24 inductions have been made into the hall, seven of which include women. The Exponents frontman Jordan Luck has been inducted twice, first as the inaugural inductee at the 2007 APRA Silver Scroll Awards and again with his band The Exponents at the 2015 New Zealand Music Awards. The most recent Recorded Music NZ inductee was Upper Hutt Posse, who was inducted at the 2018 New Zealand Music Awards, while most recent APRA inductee was singer-songwriter Jenny Morris who was inducted at the 2018 APRA Silver Scroll Awards.

Eligibility

To be eligible for induction in to the Hall of Fame, the artist must have released a work or achieve another significant professional milestone at least 20 years prior. They must also have shown musical excellence in their career. Also considered is the significance and influence and the impact of the artist's work on New Zealand music.[5]

Award

Both the APRA and the Recorded Music NZ inductees receive a frame certificate to mark their induction as well as the Hall of Fame "soundshell", created by sculptor Jim Wheeler. The Recorded Music Inductees also receive the Legacy Award which is represented as a platinum Tui trophy.[4]

Controversy

Salmonella Dub allegedly turned down the opportunity to be the 2017 Legacy Award winner and Hall of Fame inductee at the 2017 New Zealand Music Awards. The band requested that Wellington post-punk band Beat Rhythm Fashion perform as part of the induction ceremony, however, it was claimed that the award organisers turned down the request, saying that Beat Rhythm Fashion was "too obscure" for the broad television audience of the music awards. Salmonella Dub then turned down the Hall of Fame entry.[6] However, there was no confirmation of this from the Hall of Fame organisers nor independent sources.

Indie rock band The Clean have twice turned down the opportunity to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Band member Robert Scott explained, "We feel we are outside the industry, and in the past we were shunned and dismissed and it seems like by saying yes we would be forgiving the industry for that."[6]
