Niki Te Whaiti - MNZ Interview: Tonal Tapestry S01 / E03 - Niki Te Whaiti

28 Jun 2024 // An interview by BadJellyCollective

Tonal Tapestry host (Ben Clark) explores the musical world of Niki Te Whaiti, a talented saxophonist, and the creative mind behind the soulful tunes emanating from Atiamuri, New Zealand.

Drawing inspiration from local legends like Fat Freddy's Drop and Katchafire, Niki seamlessly blends jazz, soul, and reggae in his compositions. Niki Te Whaiti's musical journey is deeply rooted in family. He inherited his grandfather's saxophone, turning each note into a heartfelt connection with generations past. Niki wears multiple hats as the producer, meticulously shaping beats and melodies. From mellow ballads to rhythmic tunes, his production skills enhance the richness of each composition.

Let the saxophone be your guide as Niki Te Whaiti crafts straightforward, heartfelt sonic landscapes inspired by the soulful spirit of Aotearoa & the Die Hard series.
