Name: Tawahinga
Age: 10 years
Hometown: I moved around a bit as I was growing up, mostly between the Bay of Plenty and Auckland, but I call Auckland home.
Sounds like: Mess. I use mixed media and take a lot of influences and ideas from a range of places. I like to think it sounds kinda dirty.
Musical guilty pleasure: I try not to have guilt about anything musical, but I guess that when I rap along to hip hop with cool beats but messages I strongly disagree with, I feel a bit bad.
Formative musical experience: The main formative part of my musical life would definitely be playing in bands in high school, because it made me life-long friends who have all grown, changed and influenced each other over the years.
