A huge mihi to Che Fu on his induction into Te Whare Taonga Puoro o Aotearoa | NZ Music Hall of Fame.

An artist whose influence on music in Aotearoa stretches across generations, communities, and genres - while always staying unmistakably himself. His music has shaped soundtracks, memories, movements and conversations for so many people here.

We’ve been lucky enough to spend time with some incredible artists over the years, and NZ Music Month feels like the right time to acknowledge the people who continue to shape the cultural landscape of Aotearoa through their work, voice and artistry.

Big congratulations, Che.

THE KEEPERS shoot is wrapped.

Congratulations to Writer & Director Leigh Minarapa and the whole team that hiked through the ngāhere to get the shot. No easy feat. And if the rushes are anything to go by...well worth it.

P.s. Don't tell Leigh about the last pics...can I get a bleh?
