Kia ora! I am Tūranga.

Since I was a young boy, I have had a passion for my culture. Specifically our art forms, from waiata (music), whakairo (carving), raranga (weaving), and moko (tattoos)

That passion drove me to an interest in contemporary Māori artwork and how we could take these forms and patterns seen in our traditional practices and push them into a modern space.

I have also been able to inject my passion for music into my role as bass player for Māori heavy metal band Alien Weaponry whom I have been creating music and touring the world with since 2020.
