Announcing the participants for Reo Māori SongHubs 2022

It’s our pleasure to announce the songwriters, producers, and mātanga reo participating in Reo Māori SongHubs 2022.

Reo Māori SongHubs will kick off next week with guests arriving for a mihi and get together this Sunday 25 September before the songwriting week officially kicks off on Monday. Four studios in the famous RoundHead Studios will be occupied by 2 songwriters, a producer and mātanga reo curated by APRA Board Writer Representative Bic Runga and Sir Tīmoti Kāretu. Groups will be shuffled each day giving every participant a chance to be the lead writer, creating new waiata reo rua alongside incredible songwriters and our finest producers.
