Story

Matiu’s unique life path of growth driven learning and cultural immersion, a calling for music and leadership, mixed with a desire to engage and share with vastly varied communities, whilst holding passports to many alternative realms, have moulded Matiu into a man ready to stand and deliver–his way.

 

Māori Musician

Looping live, Matiu's soulful roots music has a strong Maori flavor, using haka, chants and traditional Maori movements, backed by grabbing grooves, deep, beautifully crafted bass lines, funky rhythms and magical melodies that stay with you well after the show ends, all held up by a pillar of Pacific passion and top class technical precision.

Facilitator & Ambassador

Matiu Te Huki has established a global reputation as a dynamic, inspirational workshop facilitator. Allowing his presence and humour to help participants find enduring power and a deep, confident inner peace, Matiu is helping change lives around the world with his popular “Sacred Stance Through the Māori Voice” workshop.

 
 

Music

It is the heart opening, body moving, world uniting, soul inspiring power of music that truly keeps my heart pumping in this life. It’s an essential essence that can truly make magic happen. My music is one of my gifts I love to share with you all. As it reaches out, I hope it touches you, you get something from it and that you feel moved, to share it freely with your friends. Let the music play on!
