Maisey Rika is one of Aotearoa/New Zealand’s most treasured voices.

Ms. Rika is a Māori singer-songwriter whose music blends soul, folk, acoustic, and tradition with a deeply rooted cultural spirit. Singing in both English and Te Reo Māori, Maisey’s honey-smooth vocals and heartfelt songs explore themes of identity, justice, family, and resilience.

With 15 Māori Music Awards, international acclaim, and collaborations with top producers, she continues to share music that honors ancestral wisdom while inspiring new generations. Her Matariki-inspired album Nga Mata o te Ariki Tāwhirimātea is a modern classic.

Backed by her powerful band HOEA, Maisey returns to Hawai‘i with a voice that heals, empowers, and connects—a rare and moving concert experience.
