Artists & Facilitators
Nahko
Nahko Bear is an American singer-songwriter and the voice behind Nahko and Medicine for the People, creating music rooted in the belief that music is medicine.
Carrying Native heritage alongside Filipino and Puerto Rican roots, Nahko channels lived experience, trauma, and healing into songs that speak to resilience, accountability, and collective restoration. After stepping away from the corporate music industry, he reclaimed his path as an independent artist, revisiting his catalog as his early albums reached their 10-year mark and re-recording select songs acoustically.
Nahko is currently on the Take Your Power Back Tour, following a 30-show U.S. run last year and now performing across the EU and UK, with plans to bring the tour to Australia next. Recent releases include the powerful live album Live at Red Rocks and a stripped-back piano version of “Bend Like the Willow.” Grounded in survival and renewal, Nahko’s work continues to reflect an unbreakable spirit and a commitment to growth, truth, and healing.
Tiki Taane
One of the most well known and diverse artists and producers in Aotearoa (New Zealand), Tiki Taane (Ngāti Maniapoto / MacDuff) is considered to be an influential element in the pioneering of Aotearoa's bass culture, as well as the country's most prolific genre-bending experimentalist.
First hitting the stage in 1991, Tiki went on to become the live engineer and eventually frontman of leading band Salmonella Dub in 1996, which catapulted Tiki to embark upon a life changing solo career that saw his music and production skills reach record breaking, award winning heights.
Tiki’s 2008 self-produced debut solo release ‘Past Present Future’ achieved double platinum sales and picked up a swag of NZ Music awards. His beautiful acoustic love ballad ‘Always On My Mind’ rose to #1 and broke two all-time NZ records – it sat in the charts for a record 55 weeks and was also the first-ever NZ digital single to achieve platinum sales.
Tiki has produced multi-platinum, chart topping singles and albums, not only for himself but for NZ artists such as Salmonella Dub, Six60 and longtime friends Shapeshifter - he’s been their exclusive live sound engineer since 1999.
More recently Tiki has stunned the cinema and film festival world with two different projects; his multi award winning music documentary film and live album "Tiki Taane in Session with CSO", and his incredible transcendent screen composition for feature film "Ka Whawhai Tonu", both of which combined, highlight his extraordinary abilities as a composer, director, producer, lead musician and sound engineer.
As a live artist, Tiki is renowned as much for his powerful, live shows as he is for the anthems he writes and produces. His extraordinary ability to rock the mic as a hype MC, or as a One Man Band live looper, or through the collaborations he does with bands and orchestras, is something to be experienced firsthand. No matter the set he performs, or which country he performs in, the audience is always reminded of the sheer power of Tiki’s ability to unify and connect as he seamlessly delivers a unique performance experience, making him the most diverse producer and performing artist in Aotearoa NZ.
Tiki works alongside his two older sisters as the CEO of his production company and record label TIkidub Productions, which he established in 2006.
Bobby Alu
If you ask Australian/Samoan singer, ukulele strummer and drummer Bobby Alu what his music
sounds like, he’ll tell you how he hopes it makes you feel: like you have your favourite drink in hand, sipping as the sun sets on a warm evening that’s laden with the promise of adventure. In an ideal world, he’d follow summer around the earth, in his endless quest to nail that feeling in his songs that ride the groove spectrum from Polynesian folk, through roots, reggae, harmony laden soul to tropical pop.
With a reputation as a world-class performer – touring as Xavier Rudd’s percussionist for five years, and supporting the likes of Xavier, John Butler Trio and Trevor Hall across North America and Europe – Bobby’s most recent album Keep It Tropical debuted at #3 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart. Though it’s primarily a mission statement: Take naps. Be generous. Go on adventures. Have gratitude. Enjoy the little things. Strive to be better. Don’t be so serious. Love. Laugh a lot. Eat the odd donut. Swim in the ocean. Enjoy the sunshine and warmth.
Join Bobby and his band of musical soul brothers for a dose of audio sunshine to make young and old feel truly happy in the heart.

At the Estonian Music Awards (EMA) 2022, NOËP received 4 awards: Male Artist of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, Debut Album of the Year, and Album of the Year, the most wins by any artist that year.
His live show record: in autumn 2023 he staged his first stadium concert in Estonia, Tallinn - with an audience of ~14,000.

Melissa Mai
Melissa Mai is a Yoga & Embodiment Teacher who has been sharing the path of yoga since returning from India in 2013, where she completed her training with Swami Govindananda. Here she immersed in the full spectrum of ashram life: asana, pranayama, meditation, kriya, chanting and self-study and experienced a profound reconnection to her innate essence: the unchanging wholeness within us all.
At the time, Melissa was navigating a binge eating disorder. Through devoted practice and a yogic way of living, the cycles of compulsion, shame and disconnection gently dissolved. What began as personal healing naturally became a pathway to being of service to others.
Her inquiry evolved from “Who am I beyond body and mind?” to “How do I live in deep honour and allyship with my humanness?” This led her into somatic exploration and embodiment. A path of restoring safety, trust and reverence within the body. Through this work, she supports others to listen to, move with, and soften the stories we hold onto.
Over the last 12 years, Melissa has facilitated at large-scale wellness events and within corporate spaces, managed a yoga studio, and guided many retreats both locally & internationally. Bringing depth, steadiness and heart to every space she holds.
Melissa’s teaching continues to evolve alongside her own unfolding as a woman and human. You can expect her classes to be slow, steady and heartfelt.
“I don’t care about how you look; all I care about is how you feel”.

kate b
Kate has been a singer for as long as she can remember and first picked up the guitar when she was 14. She has done everything musical short of playing in an orchestra… from folk to blues and cafes to weddings and community choirs.
Her journey has more recently carried her back to the world of chanting, mantra and kirtan, revisiting an old passion in the joy of creating uplifting sound with others. Since this reconnection, the Ukelele and Celtic Harp have found their way into the musical landscape, supporting the original songs which seem to flow effortlessly now, fuelled by her true inspiration…. That is: sharing her love of voice and song to create a musical sanctuary, to connect us with others, provide refuge from the busyness of our everyday lives, quieten the mind and leave us with a deep sense of peace and joy.

Sunrise Sisterhood
Tam Moroney is a mum, mentor and the visionary, heart led founder behind Sunrise Sisterhood, a growing movement devoted to connection, wellbeing and women coming home to themselves.
After years working in women’s fitness and wellness, she felt called to create something more than just another workout. In a world where women are stretched across a hundred roles, constantly busy and often quietly disconnected, Tam created a safe space for women to pause.
Sunrise Sisterhood began as a simple sunrise gathering. A handful of women meeting on the sand to move, breathe and connect. What started small has grown into a recognised movement expanding across Australia.
At the heart of it all is a simple intention. In a world that pulls women in every direction, Sunrise Sisterhood brings them back home to themselves. Back to nature. Back to their bodies. Back to sisterhood. A place to soften the noise, shut down the outside world for a moment and simply be.
Over the years Tam has called in an incredible team of facilitators who now share their gifts across the Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay, Rainbow Beach, Redcliffe, Shorncliffe and beyond. Each woman carries the same heart and vision for Sunrise Sisterhood, while bringing her own magic to the space.
Sunrise Sisterhood isn’t about fitness or the perfect yoga pose. It’s about presence. It’s about creating a safe space and the kind of connection women didn’t realise they were missing, until they felt it.
