Listen Later

Tiki Taane is a musician extraordinaire who wears a plethora of pōtae. He's a singer, songwriter, front man, sound man, MC, producer, a lover of taonga pūoro, DJ and was a major stakeholder in the drum and bass movement here in Aotearoa. We get deep in this kōrero like only mates can. Tiki reminisces and shares his whakaaro on life as a teen growing up in Ōtautahi and researching his taha Māori in the local library, the humble beginnings of his music career which lead to the incredible musical chapters of his life with the legendary Salmonella Dub and Shapeshifter, to forging his own path as an iconic solo artist.
