First show in Rotorua

As a musician, Matiu’s ability to powerfully connect with and lift a crowd with his powerful stage presence, while fronting great bands or with his solid solo looping show is mesmerising.

Looping live, Matiu's soulful roots music has a strong Maori flavor, using haka, chants and traditional Maori instruments, 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

As a composer, the soul stirring messages in Matiu's music are positive, inspiring and unifying.

Matiu intuitively nurtures a deep connection with his audience creating the energy that opens portals of paradise.
