Maisey Rika


Maisey Rika’s first album appearance was as soloist for her school choir on a collection of classic waiata in te reo Māori which sold two times platinum. It took 10 years until she reappeared as a pop singer with her first EP.

Rika gradually introduced more te reo into her music, building her confidence enough to do a whole album, Whitiora, in te reo. It led to her breakthrough single ‘Tangaroa Whakamautai’ and kicked off a run of successful albums and tours overseas.
