Bonding over a shared love of NZ music and passion for making their own, Six60 formed after meeting at a Kora concert in 2006. Three members flatted together as Otago Uni students, spending countless hours in their recording studio (Eli's room) at number 660 on notorious Castle St.
The Six60 sound is unique - a fresh Kiwi fusion of roots, reggae, hip hop, dubstep, and drum and bass.
Six60 first debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Singles on 6 September 2010 with the song Rise Up 2.0. There are 18 entries by Six60 in the charts with four reaching Number One.
