About the Artist
Putting the Far North of New Zealand in the spotlight, acclaimed Māori musician TEEKS draws strength and meaning from music’s restorative power. Born in the striking Hokianga region, Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi has a calm, introspective presence that can quiet an entire room. Watching TEEKS perform feels deeply moving on its own, and that’s before you get to a catalogue written straight from the heart. It’s contemporary soul, rooted in Aotearoa New Zealand.
