Maisey Rika has won four awards at this year’s Waiata Maori Awards which were held at the Hawke’s Bay Opera House in Hastings on Friday night.
She was announced as the winner of ‘Best Maori Female Solo Artist’, an award she took home from the 2009 Maori Music Awards. This year she added the ‘Best Maori Pop Album’, for her work on “Tohu”; Best Maori Song, for her waiata, ‘Nia’, and ‘Best Maori Songwriter’, to her impressive music career resume.
There were 10 finalists and Rika was among the eight winners announced at the awards ceremony held inside the historic opera house theatre.
Rika travelled from Australia to Hawke’s Bay on Friday afternoon to attend the awards, which were compared by Maori Television presenter Te Hamua Nikora and Hawke’s Bay opera singer and music teacher William Winitana. Rika is from Whakatane but attended secondary school at St Josephs Maori Girls’ College in Napier. The school has also produced singers Hinewehi Mohi and Moana Maniapoto.
