Born in Hamilton, New Zealand and raised between Hamilton, Auckland, and Tonga, the young artist has already begun carving out his place with standout tracks like 676 He Maika<\/em>, Nothing New<\/em>, and Rockstar<\/em>, each showcasing a unique versatility in sound and style.<\/p>\n

Tu'amelie first took the stage as a performer in 2022 for The Radar Series, a platform highlighting rising artists, sharing the stage that night with names such as Stallyano and Elena. He later went on to open for major Pacific acts including DJ Noiz, Kennyon Brown, Donell Lewis & Bina Butta further cementing himself as a talent on the come up.<\/p>\n

Rumor has it he could\u2019ve been wearing a NZ Warriors jersey if he hadn\u2019t chosen music, a decision names like Shaun Johnson and Nathan Cleary should thank him for.<\/p>\n","band_members":"","featured_image":{"width":150,"height":150,"file":"artists\/photo-39.png","filesize":1539506,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"photo-39-300x300.png","width":300,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":126267,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-300x300.png"},"large":{"file":"photo-39-1024x1024.png","width":1024,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":1219768,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-1024x1024.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"photo-39-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":35307,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-150x150.png"},"medium_large":{"file":"photo-39-768x768.png","width":768,"height":768,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":730218,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-768x768.png"},"crp_thumbnail":{"file":"photo-39-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":35307,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-150x150.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"ID":"268678","name":"photo-39.png","path":"\/home\/muzicnz\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39.png","url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-150x150.png","full_url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39.png","title":"photo","caption":"","description":"","alt":"Photo","srcset":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/photo-39.png 1080w"},"genre":[{"term_id":35,"name":"Hip Hop\/R&B\/Rap","slug":"hip-hop-rb-rap","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":35,"taxonomy":"genre","description":"Hip Hop brings energetic flows and storytelling; R&B is smooth, soulful, and melodic; Rap emphasises lyrical prowess and rhythmic delivery.","parent":0,"count":433,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0"}],"location":{"term_id":18,"name":"Hamilton \/ Kirikiriroa","slug":"hamilton","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"location","description":"","parent":0,"count":188,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0"},"linked_artists":[],"social_links":{"youtube":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCgHHVTtgLUl60_S_T3NskMA","instagram":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/2uamelie\/","soundcloud":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tuamelies","spotify":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/7wwDPtqm2Jq5Ycye5gZcjB","apple_music":"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/nz\/artist\/tuamelie\/1516351943"},"contact":[{"contact_name":"David Sisitoutai","contact_email":"tuameliemusic@gmail.com"}],"notes":"","artists-to-releases_to":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/268677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artists"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/268677\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":268679,"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/268677\/revisions\/268679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=268677"},{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=268677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
