As one of the principle songwriters behind the central Auckland crew, Awa also lent his pop smarts to artists from Aotearoa (NZ), Australia and Japan, collaborations that have connected a Pacific rim of urban music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took me a long time to accept and be proud of the fact that I was a songwriter amongst other things,\u201d Awa reflects. \u201cI always have a lot of projects on the go, but they all have one thing in common \u2013 they are my passions and my vehicles to communicate ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Awa continues to add to his skill set as a singer, songwriter, student and broadcaster so as to expand his musical voice, and now he is taking the bold step of introducing himself as a solo artist, with two box-fresh releases set to drop in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>First up is Native Intel, a bilingual EP that explores Awa\u2019s deepening relationship with Te Reo Maori, set to a 21st century backdrop of R&amp;B, hip hop and funk. Native Intel will be followed by Awa\u2019s debut album, which sees him join forces with a who\u2019s who of Aotearoa talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m enjoying the challenge of producing a solo album. I know I am very fortunate to be in the position I am in, and I\u2019m well aware there are many people who have helped to get me here as well. I\u2019m ready for this, and I am taking nothing for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like a fresh batch of his famous fried bread, Awa is serving up two generous servings of his 100 per cent Aotearoa sounds \u2013 grab a plate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand vocalist Awa and Australian MC Surreal connect for a remix to Awa&#8217;s new single &#8220;Midnight&#8221; off his debut album coming soon.
