We are very excited to have the talented join us this evening on the FETU Creative Forum. Singer/songwriter from the North land shores of NgāPuhi, NgātiWai and the pearl haven of Manihiki. Vox - simply means voice. Dawn - “derived from my mothers name ‘Tauata’ comes from the Pacific, from our tupuna travels, in watching the horizon in the morning.” Serving up a soul-stirring, earthy, lyrical banquet with the release of her debut single in 2019, ‘It Is Well’. The waiata talks about the resilience of the people and is the first track from her debut EP, ‘Sacred Spaces.’

Since the release of ‘Sacred Spaces’ in 2019 Dawn has performed on lineups with Tigilau Ness, Mara TK, Troy Kingi, Maisey Rika, Ria Hall, Dam Native, Poetik, Illbaz, Melodownz and JessB. She’s been a supporting act for the legendary Che Fu and House of Shem. More recently she’s advocated for kaupapa projects specifically to elevate Indigenous Narratives with her recent single releases ‘Paper’ and ‘Feagaiga’ as part of a collaborative album called ‘Daughters of the Dawn’ released November 2021. Her previous performances consist of TEDx, NZ National television.

We are very excited to have the talented join us this evening on the FETU Creative Forum. Growing up in the suburban-scapes of South Auckland, Jordyn has quickly impacted the Aotearoa music scene with her bilingual (Māori and English) soulful sounds. Descending from Whāingaroa, Mulifanua Lalovi, Falelatai and Vaimoso, the stories are woven throughout her music, with her second release, ‘Brown Melodies’ being nominated for ‘Best Single’ at the 2022 Māori Music Awards. Following suit, Jordyn was a finalist for the 2023 Pacific Music Award’s Best Pacific Female Artist as well as her first Māori language release ‘Raumati’ landing as a top 3 finalist for the 2023 APRA Maioha Award. Jordyn was awarded the 2023 Māori Music Awards Best Female Artist.

2023 was a huge year for Jordyn’s career, being booked at her very first festival, the 2023 Pasifix Fest in Melbourne, showcasing at the Waiata Reo Māori Showcase at the Tuning Fork, featuring in the TVNZ Purapura Whetū Stars of Matariki show, performing at her first Pacific Music Awards, BigSound and SXSW Sydney 2023. 2024 has been no different, with Jordyn being a finalist and a performer at the 2024 Aotearoa Music Awards, in the Best Māori Artist and Mana Reo categories, finalist for 2024 Pacific Music Awards Best Female Artist and a Top 3 Maioha Award finalist for the 2024 APRA Silver Scrolls.

Audiences have praised Jordyn’s stage presence and dynamic, nestling into the soulful vibes somewhere between R&B and neo-soul with the occasional pop bend. Hibiscus Moon, Love & Justice is Jordyn’s debut album - a reo rua (bilingual) R&B body of work representing Jordyn’s cornerstones - love and justice. Jordyn’s ‘why’ is in and through her music - she tells the stories of language reclamation, identity and cultural heritage

We are very excited to have the talented join us this evening on the FETU Creative Forum. Born and raised in Glen Innes, East Auckland, this rising R&B artist draws from a rich upbringing rooted in family, culture, and music. Surrounded by over 30 cousins and steeped in karaoke and jam sessions, her love for music began early—singing Ben Lummis at age four and growing into the sounds of Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, and later, Kehlani and H.E.R.

Her sound blends nostalgic R&B with fresh, modern influences, shaped by personal storytelling and emotional depth. In 2022, she won the Pacific Music Awards’ Philip Fuemana ‘Most Promising Artist’ award and has released two mixtapes (Memoirs for the Broken Hearted Pt.1 & Pt.2) and an EP (True Colors). She’s performed alongside Bailey Wiley at major festivals and opened for Team Dynamite at The Tuning Fork.

Now exploring R&B, Afro, and pop influences, she continues to craft music that’s honest, raw, and deeply felt—making her one to watch.
