Bespoke hype tracks are energizing Kiwi winter athletes as they prepare for the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics. Hip-hop artist and producer Mazbou Q has collaborated with three athletes to create motivational songs reflecting their personal journeys.
Collaboration with Kiwi Athletes
Mazbou Q’s unique high-energy style has been combined with the individual stories of winter athletes Ruby Star Andrews, Ben Harrington, and Lyon Farrel. The tracks aim to provide empowerment and motivation on their Olympic journey.
Released Tracks
- “I’m a Star” by Ruby Star Andrews
- “ALIVE” by Ben Harrington
The first two tracks have already been released. Ruby’s song features standout lyrics that express her determination and connection to nature: “I’m a star // If we talking destiny I found it // I was born among the mountains // probably why I seek the peak and nothing else.”
Insights from Ruby Star Andrews
Ruby expressed her excitement about the collaboration, stating, “It’s really cool. He’s a great musician and rapper. I feel like he really saw me in the lyrics and got it just right.” She added, “I was confused at first about what it was going to be, but after our discussions, he wrote lyrics I truly connect with.”
Upcoming Releases and Olympic Aspirations
Ben Harrington’s track, “ALIVE,” was released last week, with a third song inspired by Lyon Farrel still to come. Ruby has already secured her spot at the Winter Games, while Ben and Lyon are in competition for their places in the upcoming months.
Mazbou’s bespoke tracks are not only a source of hype for the athletes but also perfect for gym playlists, motivating anyone in pursuit of their dreams.
