Papatawa

I’m a professional loop artist, singer-songwriter, guitarist and music educator based in Aotearoa New Zealand. I create original music blending reggae, flamenco, soulful vocals and live looping, layering guitar, percussion, bass, beatboxing and harmonies into dynamic one-person performances. I’m passionate about using music to connect people and empower others, particularly rangatahi. I have over 10 years’ experience teaching guitar and facilitating music and loop workshops for children, teenagers and community groups. Alongside performing and teaching, I enjoy collaborating with other artists, community organisations and events to create meaningful and engaging musical experiences.
