Kia ora. I'm all about legacy projects, aligning with music and art scenes worldwide.
Indigenous collaboration is my heart, as is empowering wāhine and the next gen.
It must be greater than me.
I also am a studio engineer, voice-over artist and have my own top studio in Aotearoa NZ, and I am an advocate for musicians and producers. As well as this I work promoting indigenous artists (not exclusive too) and am absolutely driven to make the world a better place. I am also the proud custodian of my Koros Rei Hamon's Art, and promoting my father Awanuis beautiful art as well.
Please reach out if you think we will vibe on a project.
Kia kaha, kia maia, ka nui te aroha!
Be strong, be brave and love hard.
