Ariana Tikao is a singer-songwriter based in Christchurch, New Zealand. She is of Kai Tahu (Maori) and Pakeha descent.
Ariana comes from a background of years of singing and composing her unique style of heartfelt music in both te Reo Maori and English, beginning with her group Pounamu in 1993. She draws on folk, pop, jazz and reggae styles, with a strong emphasis on Maori chant.
Recently, Ariana collaborated with award-winning electronica producer Leyton to create her second solo album, Tuia. ‘Tuia' means ‘stitched' and is a metaphor for the connections between people, within and across generations. Inspired by her ancestors, Ariana's waiata are soulful and life-affirming. Leyton's sparse electronic production - including real birdsong from a Southern dawn chorus and Richard Nunns' taoka puoro - are the perfect relish for Ariana's voice.
