LEPANI

​​​​In the Moment EP

Lepani is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer.  Born in Fiji into a very musical family, Lepani moved to Rotorua at a young age and then to Auckland for his teen years. It wasn’t until he was 14 when his music teacher discovered that he could sing, a talent Lepani had been hiding before then.

​​As soon as school finished, he started working graveyard shifts to fund his growing passion and to buy music equipment. This led him to record and produce all of his music himself at home in Howick.

His debut song showcased his talent and impressive skill set, with the song recorded in his home studio with an eclectic mix of gear and instruments, ‘Pocket Full of Love’ was not only written and recorded by Lepani himself, he also produced, mixed and performed all instruments on the track.  A track that took a year and a half to complete but was well worth the time and patience.
 
Lepani released his debut EP 'In The Moment' in July 2020. The 6-track collection features ‘Breathe, going from expansive pop ballads to anthemic heights on ‘Wait To Wake Me Up’ (co-written with fellow kiwis CHAII, Rory Noble and Swedish singer-songwriter Julia Karlsson) to heart-fuelled bangers like ‘Next To Me’.  The EP has now amassed over 5 million streams.
