Leisure are thrilled to announce Raglan artist Muroki will support the Leisurevision tour this October on all three shows.

With a string of super chilled bangers under his belt including the platinum hit Wavy Muroki is delivering on the promise that saw his self-released debut picked up by BENEE and played by Elton John on his Rocket Hour radio show back in 2020.

Muroki blends his Kenyan and Coromandel roots into a brew that feels distinctly mixed in Raglan - sunbaked, sleepy seaside intimacy and pounding surf a defining backdrop to this 21 year old’s sound. Muroki’s voice is a hypnotic instrument effortlessly caressing melodies over hazy, roots based pop.

Signing to BENEE’s Olive Records label, Muroki released the Dawn EP in 2021 and Heading East in 2022. He has toured extensively in Australia and Aotearoa, as well as performances in LA and Berlin, ending 2022 on a true musical highlight joining Jack Johnson and his band on stage in Auckland to jam Wavy with the Hawaiian based superstar.

Collaborations as diverse as Nasaya, Flowidus and BENEE show that Muroki can lend his natural vocal flow to any number of styles and he looks forward to warming the stage ahead of Leisure this October.
