Poetik

​​Born in New Zealand, but raised in Apia Samoa, the world got its first taste of POETIK on his three independently released street albums ‘The Ambassador’, ‘For The Ville’, and ‘Poetikly Done’, the latter of which also debuted at #1 on iTunes New Zealand Hip Hop chart in 2017.
Poetik's Hamofied EP is the first commercial release from an Apia City (SAMOA) and Auckland City NZ rapper, making history debuting at the number 1 spot for NZ HIPHOP charts and number 2 NZ POP charts, also top 10 in Australia and top 50 in American itunes charts.
Known for his outspoken opinions on racism, Polynesian culture, mainstream media and for putting Samoan Hip Hop on the map, fans have called him the ‘Poly Pac’ (a reference to the late Tupac) and local radio are now dubbing POETIK, “one of the most disruptive voices in local music.”
Poetik is a finalist for: NZ Music Commission Best Pacific Male Artist, Base FM NZ & Island FM Samoa Best Pacific Hip Hop Artist
