Work History

Music Producer/Artist

- Current
  • My main objective is to inspire youth and listeners to see a first person site of my experiences to help them learn, help, and motivate them to do what they are passionate about. At the moment, I am doing music full time to be an inspiring artist for South Auckland, and also for the wider community. I have been doing music since the age of fourteen at a youth center called “Strive Community Trust”. This passion for music speaks for itself. With my passion for music it enabled me to be selected for a major music platform in the United Kingdom called “Blackbox”.

Music Artist/Youth Motivator

02.2015 - 01.2024
  • I have hosted and performed at community events, such as “275 day” which happens once a year to celebrate my community, Mangere. 275 is a barbershop that is owned by Fitz where he mentors youth, and holds seminars to upskill the people in our community, old and young. What I have learnt from these community events is how to interact with people from different walks of life. Also, having the confidence to control a crowd and making them at home.
