• TEEKS - Without You

[@sammmproductions]

Stan, teeks, six60, lab -They are all maori (from new zealand not australia). Singing is huge part of the maori culture. Its how we hand down our ancestors stories and values and even how we welcome people. That soulfulness you hear from these singers comes from waiata and a background in singing maori songs (if you maori you have to sing at family stuff so we trained from the get go). Ya should review some kapahaka our traditional maori songs and you'll see the connection.

[@tamasnowden2976]

I couldn't agree more, mana in his voice and control is amazing, kotahitanga

[@samsmith4597]

All of lab maori?

[@roimatacooper3415]

You know what you talking bout. 🤎

[@dylanmatthews1354]

Teeks and Hollie smith - Whakaaria Mai (How Great Thou Art) is goosebumps

[@m.l.b.2908]

Teeks is legit. He sounds great live. He's also awesome with culture. I don't know if he still does, but he used to teach Te Reo Māori, our Indigenous language, at tertiary level and is part of an organisation of Māori creatives who provide rangatahi (young people) with mentoring. He's also been open in interviews about the journey music has taken him on emotionally and the growth he is achieving as a man because of it. Just seems humble.

[@m.l.b.2908]

Oh, I forgot, use of vibrato is a common form of expression with Māori. You will hear it in our songs and chants, traditional instruments, karanga (formal call of welcome) etc... It is used for a number of different reasons. Sometimes it ties in with lyrics. We use a lot of metaphors (especially about nature) so you may use vibrato when you're singing about rippling water or heat that shimmers etc... (often accompanied by shaking hands action called wiriwiri). Similarly, if your composition discusses fear you may use vibrato to produce the effect of an accelerated heart rate. And sometimes you just use it because it's the right time to use it, like everyone else. I heard an old mōteatea (chant) once about an earthquake that caused severe distress for the ancestors of the people relaying it. That was wailed vibrato. It's very goosebumpy.

[@geordie-drywall]

Been living in New Zealand 7 year almost and adore the music scene, teeks , six60 , home brew , house of shem , hollie Smith , LAB Totally unique to Aotearoa

[@RhythmicEye]

As soon as I saw Teek in your thumbnail I knew exactly what your reaction was gonna be. And I was 100% correct. Isn’t he just insane? I remember hearing him for the first time and having a similar reaction. Unique voices like his reminds me why music is so visceral and endlessly astounding.

[@judithhapi687]

Yaaay I have been waiting for you to discover Teeks, His voice is so hauntingly beautiful! He is from Aotearoa New Zealand.

[@sarazonkaraitiana231]

[@user-qd4og3ig9b]

Big up Maori

[@cherylb309]

Teeks is a Māori singer from New Zealand. I only heard of him this year & intended to request him.

[@impishmiss]

Stunningly beautiful! What a talent ❤️

[@veronicachilds2084]

Loved your reaction! Teeks is a phenomenal singer. Every song on his album, "Something to Feel", displays his God-given talent as a singer and a song writer.

[@pines5536]

Thank you. He is an amazing artist and we are so proud of him here in New Zealand 👏

[@Miz_Mei]

I just stumbled across Teeks today on Vevo, and OMG! The depth and richness of his voice literally stopped me in my tracks. Haunting, captivating, soul-stirring; his voice is all that and then some. "Old Soul", I feel best describes him. I definitely get the feeling that this guy has been here before. I am totally "fanned" out!

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Actually came across him for the first time the other day singing I can’t make you love me, he’s got an amazing voice. Think he’s from New Zealand

[@micheletimms7021]

Yes indeed he is.

[@lisaclarke2227]

I've spent time with him musically, he's a genuine guy. Can't tell you how humble he is. This was prefame.

[@stephhenry7895]

Another singer from New Zealand. Our singing talent is raw, rich and they just SANG!

[@victoriapettifer9216]

Teens is a beautiful talented soul from Aeotearoa! New Zealand!

[@KiwiGirlnCo]

Yay more NZ artists. Supergroove sitting inside my head.. maybe. Classic.

[@chriscowell3065]

Marlon Williams is another beautiful maori singer from New Zealand. If you imagine Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley having a baby, that's who he sounds like!

[@amberfabiano445]

He has reviewed him three times 😊

[@sarahstevens8268]

Teeks is an artist that was in my suggested Spotify playlists. I have been OBSESSED since.

[@TheAmalia1206]

Can't believe after Stan Walker that its taken you so long to react to Teeks......hes got such a unique voice.

[@TheAlicia1969]

I discovered him last evening watching Queen Sugar. He sang Never Be Apart and whooooo.

[@fgkuxmike8471]

Hollie Smith - Bathe in the river is another NZ gem 100%

[@trevpoo8762]

Teeks #first time💯🤙🏽

[@user-nl2fc4nm6v]

Teeks is from Aoetearoa New Zealand. He has an incredible, unique voice. So deep. The tone is found in many of the Maori men and women singers here in New Zealand. I hope he releases new music soon

[@Kia0ra278]

He translated one of his English songs(Never Be Apart) into Maori and it is just so damn beautiful. Listening to his voice is a blessing.

[@roweboat899]

Teeks does an phenomenal version of how great thou are (whakaaria Mai) with hollie smith.

[@arohajanie]

Teeks is one of my favourite artists. His voice is transcendent.

Thank you, how did you hear about TEEKS? I'm his # 1 fan in New York & JAMAICA 🇯🇲

[@shemdelaflavelle5729]

Love You Brother Teeks 💪🏽🤍🇳🇿

[@warrenmorphis4208]

After discovering Stan Walker, Kaiit, and now TEEKS - nothing from New Zealand surprises me anymore. The talent...soulfulness...harmonic perfection...musicianship... it's all there. What does shock me, is the number of people still unaware of these singers. Especially on this (U.S) side of the water. For this reason, I very rarely listen to radio anymore - American radio particularly, is a closed off, tunnel visioned, mess of boring.. repitition and sameness that favors certain "artists" over others playlist after playlist. Programmers have no interest whatsoever in discovering fresh, groundbreaking talent. Especially from other parts of this huge world. I thank the God of Music for platforms like KZbin - I've found so many new artists that will never be heard otherwise.

[@d.erueti5156]

Chur, hes from the Hokianga, Northland, NZ where i grew up!

[@kayleen1582]

🤍🤍🤍 Teeks is my cousin & only a few of our whanau still live in the Hokianga - Opononi 🤍

[@solidostso8500]

[@tyronhema6383]

You should watch Rob ruha, Ka Hāo live album. It's quite long but each song is awesome. The only thing is that it's not in English brother but the feels are there. I'll copy a link in here.

We don't really have singing comps down here in Aotearoa like you do in the states and in the UK - our amazing singers just make it on their own - with the exception of Stan who won Australian Idol but man would've been huge without it anyway. You should also check out Katchafire
