Roimata Howell

Hey there! Kia ora, I'm Roimata Howell πŸŒΊπŸ€™ 

Growing up in beautiful New Zealand, music has always been a huge part of my life. Guided by the wonderful woman in my life - mum, aunty, and nan, I learned how to play guitar and sing, all while soaking in the rich culture of our Maori heritage. You could always find me in a kapa haka group, leading the songs as a kaia, and loving every moment of it. 🎢❀️ 

I have 11+ years of knowledge when it comes to being a musician, and there is so much to learn if you're an aspiring musician. I'm here to share my perspective of what I wish I knew before becoming a musician.

Join me on my podcast and learn lessons I wish I'd learnt sooner 🎢😊

Katherine clearly is a local media personality and entertainer who loves the Great Southern music scene with a passion.

After 10 years in the business she's been around the block and is really excited to share on knowledge as co-host of "what i wish I knew before becoming a musician."

"I'm thrilled to be apart of such a great podcast and share Roimata's vision of passing on information.

Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start and hard to source local information. That's where we come in and strive to bring reliable and useful information to the airwaves."
