After releasing his new single Introducing, 21 year old New Zealand artist Muroki is excited to share the announcement of his upcoming EP Heading East, coming on September 16 via Olive Records / Universal Music and accompanied by an Australian and New Zealand tour.

In Australia, Muroki’s Heading East tour takes him to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well as the Wanderer Festival in Sapphire Coast, NSW and Promiseland on the Gold Coast, QLD.

The EP tour then heads back to New Zealand for headline shows including a rescheduled date at the San Fran in Wellington after covid caused the cancellation of his July date. He also appears at the Longline Classic festival in Gisborne.

Heading East is Muroki’s second EP release. The six track collection includes the singles Find Me and Introducing, plus four as yet unheard tracks. Stirring the melting pot of Muroki’s musical influences, you can hear indie, pop, reggae and world music on songs like the chilled pop of Simple Pleasures or the heartfelt roots flavours in Found In Nairobi and the EP’s title track.

Releasing a new collection of music and getting back out on the road promises to start Muroki’s summer in a bold way, connecting with his growing fanbase on both sides of the Tasman.

'I'm super excited to be touring through New Zealand and Australia to share all my new music with you!’ says Muroki.

Tickets to all shows go on sale at 1pm NZT /11am AEST tomorrow, Tuesday 9 August.

Muroki’s smooth, roots based sound mixes his Raglan background of skating pavements and surfing breaks with inspiration from local music, his Kenyan background and sounds from the streets of North and South America.

His breakout hit Wavy topped the NZ charts and the breezy soul-pop jam Surfin’ became a Triple J playlist fave and was nominated by GQ as the single “soundtrack of Summer”.
