Smooth and confident oozes from Raglan groovers Masaya. Formed as a 3 piece band for a University project for lead vocalists and frontman Reiki Ruawai, coaxing his sister Kaea Ruawai on the drums. The band evolved adding Jules Blewman on lead guitar from Wellington, Joe Kaptein on keyboards and Nat Hathaway on bass guitar with cousin Tiara Ruawai on backing vocals. Over the years the band has released an EP “Tongue & Groove” alongside two singles “Soda Dreams” and “Jamma”. They’re on their way on a Winter tour in July for Matariki, bringing a new single “Mung Bean” to soothe the chilly chills.
