Rei delivers an electrifying live performance that has captivated audiences around the world. Whether lighting up the main stage at WOMAD and Splore, closing the International Indigenous Music Summit in Toronto, or performing at WOMEX in Europe, he brings infectious energy, genuine connection, and an uplifting multi-genre sound that gets crowds moving. His shows celebrate Māori culture through live kapa haka (Māori performing arts), taonga pūoro (traditional Māori instruments), Māori-language lyrics, and striking visual storytelling, creating a powerful and unforgettable live experience. Of Ngāti Raukawa and Ngāti Pākehā descent, Rei seamlessly fuses world music with electronic, hip hop, pop, and dance influences to create a sound that is uniquely his own. His innovative approach has earned him more than 15 million Spotify streams, seven Waiata Māori Awards, and five New Zealand Music Award nominations, establishing him as one of Aotearoa's most exciting contemporary artists and a growing force on the international stage. Beyond the stage, Rei is a passionate advocate for Indigenous music and cultural exchange. Together with his creative team, he contributes to panels and workshops exploring the intersection of music and culture at leading international events including SXSW Sydney, Going Global, WOMAD, WOMEX, and the Toitū Language Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand. Through both his performances and his advocacy, Rei continues to inspire audiences while sharing Māori language, traditions, and contemporary creativity with the world.
