AROHA
Aroha Harawira is a fully-fledged music industry icon, accentuating her renowned tastemaker stamp and creating moods for music enthusiasts across the seas. From her hometown of Masterton, New Zealand to Melbourne where she now resides, the producer and DJ whose throwdown teases the house, bass and techno realms, certainly gives audiences and industry tastemakers something to talk about. Having met with a phenomenal resume of opportunities throughout her career, Aroha’s passion for music is a stand out in its own affair, both as a solo artist and half of duo Aroha and Tali, with award winning MC Tali. From prime-time hosting on New Zealand’s leading electronic radio station George FM, alternative station 95bFM to online station Music For The People and Juice TV, she has pioneered. Out of radio and TV Aroha has also opened parties for the likes of Disclosure and been voted as New Zealand’s Best Club DJ. Aroha has certainly got her name carved, paving the way for a highly anticipated next chapter.
Notably acclaimed for her club-ready set lists that evoke the crowds before her, Aroha navigates a sure-fire trim of the most unique, energetic and driving musical attire across house and techno with hues of future garage, jungle, drum & bass, post-dubstep and UK bass - truly aligning with her studio signature. Fusing a sheer devotion for music that moves people in every way and creating her own lane, she has claimed repeated festival spots at the likes of Rhythm & Vines, Northern Bass, Homegrown, Electric Avenue, Rhythm & Alps and Soundsplash whilst also being invited to play a New Zealand edition of the famous Los Angeles party The Do Over, alongside headliner DJ Jazzy Jeff. Around the world including the UK and Japan, Aroha has welcomed prodigious highs in her career with many headliner shows, boutique event bills and spots alongside the likes of Kaytranada, Ben UFO, Heidi, Troyboi, Breakbot, Chase & Status and more.
Dedicated to the industry, Aroha’s life outside the studio and stage is a true testament to her devotion to the music. As Ableton’s brand manager for Australia and New Zealand and having studied and taught audio engineering whilst once being 95bFM’s Programme Director; her drive for elevating the voices of musicians, artists and creatives around her is indisputable. Always inspired by the music, Aroha’s next instalment in her career leads her to a highly anticipated debut EP, “No More Jenga” - two tracks of leftfield house and bass to close out 2020, plus more music to follow.
