“My journey in music began at an early age as I come from a very musical family, who played brass & stringed instruments in church with my outrageously talented mum and her aunties harmonizing. With a lot of love she taught me to play guitar & ukulele at the tender age of 6. With hindsight I reflect and am grateful for her vision for me.
My church & the entertainment industry here in Fiji provided me with a platform, to home in on my art as a musician, both as a singer & instrumentalist (BLACK ROSE, DIVINE). After all that exposure, some 20 years, I chose to focus on creating music using the beautiful tunes & compositions that were not exposed to the world, from my intriguing island of Rotuma.
Personally my mum instilled a profound love for my culture and its purity thus I used that to carefully guide the way I projected my renditions at times collaborating using our Fijian & Indo-Fijian chants and “vucu” to channel interest among our ethnic groups.
There is so much in music that an artist can amplify and draw from, and I am blessed to be able to be a part of that process. Bridging a gap where only music can rectify.”

DANCE ROTUMA

Intro Chant

A veikacivi e na domo ni veivakayadrati
Mawe ni yava levu ss vakaraitaki
Turaga o Matua na vei yalayalati
Na Sau ni Kalou me raici ka lomani


La' se Maftoa
Hö' se Maha'ha
La se Fuli'u
La Kakau

Ma è rere ne tạnu
Foraghanua
Te'is tạn pumua
Ne Rotuma heàheà

E av ne mane'a
Ma' åe ko sina
Gou kat' inea ra
Ne äe oaf se sei

Fu se' la mak
Fu se' la mak
Fu se' la maka
Mafa a'ahelava

'Otomis huga afa'afa
Hun se ou mafa helava
Hanis moit te ata
Fak kikia se råh pakra
