HŪHĀ Music: Global Music Network
for TE REO Māori Musicians.
te reo Māori - Māori Language INDIGENOUS to AOTEAROA
HŪHĀ Music is launching in November 2024 as a discovery platform for our global community
to experience and book/contact Māori language musicians who want to travel and share our culture with the world.
HŪHĀ Music is also an information portal and guidance for our Māori Musicians to assist them on their global touring strategies and opportunities streaming and culture exchanges.
HŪHĀ taps into existing music currents around the world and helps musicians from Aotearoa (aka New Zealand) navigate these opportunities and the wider Indigenous network.
HŪHĀ envisions a future where confident te reo Māori musicians know they can travel with their te reo Māori music and be supported in a long-term career strategy. Their global aim is to link their indigenous whānau/family, inspire and share progress riding the wave of music.
HŪHĀ Music is committed to create a stronger bilingual Aotearoa Music community, connected to the worlds opportunities.
With 16 years of experience in music strategy, artist development, and promotion, Huia Hamon and the team are on a mission to provide musicians with access to global stages, world audiences, and international touring circuits.

We are creating digital showcases of our te reo Māori Musicians and advocating for more involvement and investment in their development for these global communities.
