TIKI TAANE BIO
One of the country's most well-known and diverse artists and producers, Tiki Taane is considered to be an influential element in the pioneering of New Zealand's bass culture, as well as the country's most prolific and talented "genre-bending experimentalist". First rising to prominence as live engineer and eventually frontman of leading band Salmonella Dub in 1996, Tiki embarked upon a life changing solo career in 2007.
Renowned as much for his powerful, headlining live performances as he is for the anthems he writes and produces, Tiki’s extraordinary ability to rock the mic as both a gifted performance MC and/or a solo acoustic performer is something to be experienced firsthand. Although affectionately known as ‘King of the Dubs’ in Aotearoa, his musical influences and appeal are broad, traversing from dubstep, reggae, drum n bass and hip-hop, to more contemporary pop/rock sensibilities. No matter the set he performs, or which country he performs in, the audience is always reminded of the sheer power of Tiki’s ability to unify and wow as he seamlessly delivers a unique performance experience.
Currently, between constant gigs performing his “One Man Band” show, Tiki can be found deep in his solar-powered studio, producing projects for Six60, Kora, Shapeshifter, L.A.B, Shihad, Ria Hall, Rob Ruha, Mana Lion, Maisey Rika, Fly My Pretties, Lee Mvtthews, Trei, Concord Dawn, The Upbeats, State of Mind, The Adults and Ra Costello, with many more artists’ projects under construction. His production skills and live shows are in hot demand globally, making him one of the busiest musicians in NZ, something that Tiki has worked very hard to achieve, solidifying his role as NZs “King of the Dubs
