– Tim Driver on bandmate Henare Kaa's talents, Waiata Anthems 2024
Kei Whati Te Marama is a love song, and a 'thank you' song to those who are special to us, it is a tribute to our wāhine who go through so much ... That is a thank you that I can only summarise in a song.
– Henare Kaa on the inspiration for waiata Kei Whati Te Marama, Waiata Anthems 2024

– Henare Kaa on their waiata Kei Whati Te Marama, Waiata Anthems 2024
