Michaela Tempers is a writer and musician based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa. After
moving home from Melbourne in 2019, Michaela Tempers rediscovered her lost love for songwriting. While studying for her master’s in Creative Writing, she began to write a collection of songs exploring the complexities of womanhood. The resulting work forms the basis of her debut EP ‘Good Woman’, which is out on Te Whanganui-a-Tara label Home Alone in May 2025. Tempers’ six-track EP was recorded at Surgery Studios with Lee Prebble and an all-star folk band of Chris Armour (guitar), Dayle Jellyman (organ), Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa (drums), Phoebe Johnson (bass), and Brooke Singer (keys). It was mixed and produced by Brooke Singer and Chris Armour and mastered by Carl Saff.
