If you've ever felt like an outsider and decided to back yourself anyway, Triggar Happy's new single might be your next favourite listen.
The Kiwi country-rock artist has released Johnny Cash Outlaw, an anthem about self-belief, embracing what makes you different, and having the courage to forge your own path.
Raised in Ĺtorohanga, Triggar Happy spent years farming sheep, beef and dairy across New Zealand and Australia before committing to music full-time. Blending country, rock and hip hop country with plenty of working-class grit and attitude, 'Johnny Cash Outlaw' explores the moment when standing apart stops feeling like a disadvantage and becomes a reason to back yourself.
As Triggar puts it:"Johnny Cash Outlaw is for anyone whoâs ever felt like an outcast â when you realise itâs time to step up, own your calling, and go after your destiny."

Listen to Johnny Cash Outlaw now:

Triggar Happy is carving out his own lane in Aotearoaâs country-rock landscape - fearless, genuine, and fuelled by real-life experience. Raised in Ĺtorohanga, Waikato, he spent years deep in the farming world, running six farms, building a life from the ground up, and eventually losing everything. Instead of staying down, he cashed it all in, walked away from the land, and bet everything on music.
