😢😢😢❤❤❤ i love that u said that

Born in Melbourne came to Aotearoa as a baby. Grew up in a marae setting. In his teens his family went back to Australia where he won Australia Idol. He was marketed as a pop singer in Australia but the execs told him he was too Maori and not to be so brown. He didn't re-sign and returned home. He's done very well without compromising his heritage. Absolute F* U to the record company. Stan has proved just because an artist can't fit their fast profit mould of a record company doesn't mean the artist isn't talented. It means the record company is dispensable.

Thankyou you for loving Stan's music he is the man in New Zealand

If you go back theough his 14yrs of music, he has already gone through the record company pressures and did put out mainstream music. All of it good, but he has now taken back creative control on all he is doing. Starting 6-7yrs ago? Everything he does shows his progression and growth, and belief and confidence.

I adore & admire not only his vocals & and songwriting, but most of all, his genuine love & respect for his culture, heritage & elders. A truly remarkable man. Great reaction to this fabulous artist!

Thanks for the supportive review on Stan Walker as a representative for Māori cultural integrity & development

During their isolation from the world prior to colonization, our Māori ancestors had adapted our culture around the ways of the native birds of Aotearoa New Zealand, much like our traditional garments worn today are made of their feathers and Te Reo Māori is spoken/chanted/sung much like bird song. For example, the pūkana (i.e. bulging eyes, protruding of chin for women and the tongue/teeth for men) is used to exude passion, ferocity and intimidation and was adopted from the attacking style of the ruru (morepork/owl). Ruru are considered spiritual kaitiaki (or guardians and protectors).

Pronunciation on point brother and your reaction ✅

Well done dude your pronunciation of the Maori language was good

We love Stan precisely because he's not going to sell out...we are a colonized ppl and we've had a real gutsful of that. He belongs to the Tūhoe tribe and they are super staunch because they were amongst the last Māori tribes to have contact with the Europeans. The Europeans (Pākehā) invaded Tūhoe territory twice before: once in the 1800s where they set fire to grains and caused a big famine and killed ppl, and once in the early 2000s for accusations of terrorism against the NZ govt, which was a LIE! But yeah, Stan knows his history and that's why his music is so authentic and his culture is the point of difference in this society today.

Did you do a reaction to his song I AM yet?

Almost all Polynesians are brought up with reggae music in their lives.

😂😅😂😅, ❤ Yeah it's beautiful that our Maoridom easily embraces all music particularly that of the soul. I was fortunate to play bass guitar with Australia's Reggae band "UnTabu" in the early eighties. Me and Alan Manu the Lead guitarist were the two Maori boys in the band. 🎸🎸🎤🎤🎵🎶🎼🎤🎹🥁

The wairua is working well through Stan- sharing thee Reo to the world.

It’s prophetic in nature and no prophet should ever profit from when God is speaking through you!!! Why do you think millions are having such a powerful reaction to Stans music, entertainment skills beyond his years. Both Audibly and Visually…. Representing a Tradition of our peoples in our Native Lands. And this crosses all borders. Stand up and fight for your right to exist in peace and prosperity in your own lands. Especially when it comes to living off it. Hunting, fishing gathering of seafood. We have managed and been guardians of this God given land. So we are able to manage these. There a number of Iwi Tribes within Aotearoa that are proving this. One in particular owns the largest fisheries. And quotas are strictly enforced. I have taught my Children the same value of only taking enough for your family to eat. And you will always return to the same waters to fish. I now have that same privilege to teach Grandkids! As Maori we have a duty to pass knowledge on. Not just with words, but also through experiencing it. Hands on education is better than all that book work crap that has become unhealthy places for our children. It’s still a bit merry old England. With a kiwi twist. We are a tactile people, an oral people not letting Snapchat and TikTok be babysitting your children!!!

Whanau, Whenua, Waiata, Te reo, Nga Tupuna, Mana, Past Present and Future drives him. Not Money Not Glory Not Fame.

That's is bruv. Mōrena

Pretty good pronunciation too

@@wayneprice8784 You can't compare - they're a band! Split Enz were a 'novelty' group to start off and granted, over the years, turned into quite a unique band but their talents are mainly in their song writing anyway. Stan, on the other hand, has vocal skills unmatched by most I've heard in this country. We have really good singers in Aotearoa NZ but Stan really is on his own and most will readily acknowledge that. He's just that special!
