TE TŪRANGAWAEWAE A TEEKS

It’s been a massive year so far for musician Teeks. A debut album in production, a collaboration with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra blending kapa haka and classical music and, in remembrance of the Christchurch terror victims, a stunning rendition of Whakaaria Mai alongside Hollie Smith. Teeks - whose real name is Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi - takes us to his Hokianga home, to meet his whānau, and into the music studio. Who is the man behind the beautiful music?
