 Maisey Rika

Artist Overview

Bay of Plenty singer/songwriter Maisey Rika began her musical career at just 13 with E Hine, a collection of traditional Maori songs which went double platinum and won Best Maori Language Album at the New Zealand Music Awards. Now in her 20s, Rika has developed more of an acoustic folk sound that has been compared to Tracey Chapman, but her music still embraces her Maori heritage. Rika's debut self-titled EP (released in 2009) made it to the NZ Top 40 and received favourable reviews and interest. Rika has played live alongside Dave Dobbyn, Hinewehi Mohi and Grammy award-winners The Blind Boys of Alabama.
