MOHI

From the vibrant streets and soundscape of West Auckland, New Zealand, award-winning Māori artist MOHI is a once-in-a-generation talent. His music masterfully weaves Te Reo Māori and introspective storytelling with alternative R&B and Hip Hop instrumentation, a genre-defying sound that pushes the culture forward.

Indigenous to Aotearoa (New Zealand), MOHI’s artistry is grounded in his rich cultural heritage, reflecting the strength and beauty of his whakapapa (ancestry). Since launching his solo career in 2020, he has quickly risen to become a household name – resonating throughout Aotearoa and increasingly on the global stage.

His latest project, Vibez On The 75 is making massive waves across New Zealand, charting at #9 on the Official Aotearoa Music Charts.

MOHI has also been the recipient of Best Te Reo Māori Album and Best Male Artist at the Māori Music Awards, received nominations for Best Māori Artist and the Mana Reo Award at the Aotearoa Music Awards 2025, won the prestigious APRA Maioha Award, and was up for the Mana Reo Award alongside his sister PARE for their waiata Ka Rea at this year’s Aotearoa Music Awards 2026.

Breaking into the International music scene with his spectacular performances at Big Sound, Australia, SXSW Sydney, IIMS Canada and FOCUS Wales, UK, MOHI holds an impressive CV of shows. In October, MOHI opened for the incomparable Loyle Carner at his Tāmaki show held at the Auckland Town Hall, not only as an opening act but also as a featured artist on Loyle’s hit song Ottolenghi, a special
moment for te iwi Māori.

More recently, MOHI headlined his sold out show at The Tuning Fork, supported by an all-Māori line up in DJ Seymore, HOPE and Greatsouth, further cementing his place as one of Aotearoa music’s most compelling and important voices. MOHI now sets his sights on London this September for a scheduled international album release show alongside superstars Jordyn With a Why and HOPE, taking Waiata
Māori to the globe.
