This concert documentary was filmed in May 2021 in front of a sold-out audience at the recently restored Christchurch Town Hall. Tiki Taane collaborated with the 50 piece Christchurch Symphony Orchestra to reimagine compositions from his back catalogue, including his breakthrough 2008 hit 'Always on My Mind'. In what may be a first for an orchestra, he also performs some 'live looping'. Taane directed and produced, as well as starring. The film has won 40 awards at international film festivals ands film awards.

Always On My Mind

"I've always felt shitty about having my music on Spotify, with its appallingly low and inequitable royalty payouts to artists, murky and dodgy deals favouring major record labels, algorithm manipulation, AI generated tracks and artists, streaming bots and the biggest fuckery of all - investments into war technologies.
The above goes against everything I stand for and often sing about, and it's an easy move for me to take my music and business off Spotify, and to focus on supporting platforms and systems that align better with my values. 
Big love to all the artists who are also on this journey of taking control of where their music is being heard, and huge thanks to all my followers and listeners who are also on this journey with me. See you at a show soon!" - TIKI

Kei Tōku Ngākau Nei Koe / Always On My Mind

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.
