Māoriland Presents Jordyn with a Why, and Mohi
68 Main Street , Otaki, New Zealand 5512 Map
Māoriland is excited to welcome rising talents to Ōtaki for one night only.
APRA Maioha Award winner Jordyn with a Why is Aotearoa's Indigenous sweetie lover girl, making tunes for the people. With the undercurrent of reclamation, Jordyn's ethereal R&B sounds are as wavy as the Moana nui that makes her.
Mohi Allen (Ngāpuhi) balances a smooth soulful voice with unique swag and style.
Mohi was also a Top 20 finalist for the Silver Scroll Award itself with Te Atarau, another reo Māori waiata. Late in October, Mohi dropped his debut album, a soulful consciously bilingual collection of songs framed around the theme of love and titled ‘Moments of Aroha’. Billed ‘a Māori neo soul pop funk masterpiece’, the album seems an inevitable winner in the 2024 awards season
