This weekend, up and coming singer Muroki will be stopping off for a show at the Leigh Sawmill, the first show of his tour celebrating the release of his latest single, ‘Wavy’. 

Wavy, a hypnotic slice of pop is the second cut from the young Raglan musician's forthcoming EP and these shows are his first since breaking his arm in a skateboard accident. So far, the reception to the song has been overwhelmingly positive. 

“It's honestly been crazy. I've never received so much love for a song before, and I can't wait to play it live.” says Muroki.

After stunning RNV and Nestfest performances, a skateboard tumble in his hometown put rest to many of Muroki's plans (he also plays in popular Raglan groups Masaya and Cloak Bay) but he has already been back in the studio finishing up more tracks and planning a big 2021. 

“I have lots of new music, new videos, and heaps of shows planned for 2021, so keep an eye out for those!”

Wavy is Muroki's third single release. His self-released debut For Better Or Worse caught the ear of BENEE and she was soon playing the song to Elton John and the worldwide audience on his Rocket Hour Radio show. When asked who his biggest musical influences are, Muroki says “definitely cats like D'Angelo, Anderson. Paak, Lauren Hill, Fat Freddys Drop, and Damian Marley.” While you can hear the influences in Muroki’s funky, soulful tunes, he has definitely carved out his own unique sound. 

Benee invited him not only to join her sold-out October tour, but also to be the first artist signed to her new Olive record label. 

“Obviously playing at spark arena is a pretty crazy rush, but it's all the same at the end of the day. It's definitely more about having a quality connection with the crowd, rather than the size of the venue”.

Friday March 26th marks the start of the tour, and also the release of his next song, Cross Roads, featuring Rhys Rich. Be sure to get in and grab your tickets from Under The Radar quickly, and groove the way into the weekend with Muroki.
