• 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]

​@samsmith4597 all members except Joel Shadbolt

[@whacksta]

You know what you talking bout. 🤎

[@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.

[@dylanmatthews1354]

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

[@cherylb309]

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

[@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

[@sarazonkaraitiana231]

[@Tricia-b6g]

Big up Maori

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@sarahstevens8268]

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

[@TheAmalia1206]

Same here! I could listen his songs all day

[@victoriapettifer9216]

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

[@pines5536]

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

[@TheAlicia1969]

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

[@impishmiss]

Stunningly beautiful! What a talent ❤️

[@cherrydeleon9646]

My baby TEEKS from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Love & talented,respectful artist. ❤️

[@ShakiraAunty]

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

[@chevydoitzKiwiVerrer]

Teeks song " first time " is another banger 🔥🔥🔥🎶

[@katrogue9239]

Love ya reaction to Teek's. He is a beautiful singer. check out 'If Only' one of my 1st songs i ever heard from his and i was hooked. Much Love from New zealand

[@serahnkahukura8433]

Yay!!!! I've been trying to catch a live for ages so I could request some other Māori & Polynesian musicians for you. Teeks was top of my list.

[@wp9342]

More Teeks! :) First Time and If Only are great Teeks songs.

[@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 😊

[@Krissi3707]

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

[@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.

[@fgkuxmike8471]

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

[@arohajanie]

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

[@aporoniaarahanga1673]

I LOVE THAT YOU ARE REACTING TO TEEKS!! But you gotta check out Kwabs Cheating on Me he has a similar tone!!

[@MARYBOORMAN]

Love Teeks and please check out another gem with superb voice - part Samoan MARLEY SOLA from Christchurch, NZ. (His business is Mellow Studios). RIBBON IN THE SKY cover Stevie Wonder.

[@Possumpicnic]

Teeks' Remember Me is such a beautiful love confession kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3SymaOXi6t9bMU Oh , and he is not a song competition contestant. Teeks is just a singer from New Zealand = )

[@solidostso8500]

Theres a few singers like him here in Nz more notably Troy Kingi check him out but Teeks is lit 🔥 👌

[@mckenzierobinson4644]

react to Teeks- First Time !!!

[@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.

[@ryukuslash8489]

If only is one song never be apart his other song should be what your looking for chur for your awesome Ness

[@jayantamukharjee4304]

Take care of your G.A.D. and Diabetes. Take medicines and insulin timely. Love from India.

[@d.erueti5156]

Teeks- wash over me

[@irenecooney7066]

Another siinger from New Zealand.

[@anisullivan]

If you liked this, you should try SOL3 MIO and their cover of 'hold me while you wait'

[@davidfeiloakitau8644]

His tone reminds me of Terence Trent D'arby's tone

[@mellywellywoowaa]

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

[@laurenabobbit4786]

Teeks is definitely underated

[@kraze8780]

Proud to be Maori, especially when our brothers sing like this. Mean Maori Mean :)
