Multi award-winning, chart-topping urban artist TY (Tyree Tautogia) has travelled a long and winding road since his early days making mixtapes with fellow Smashproof members Deach and Sid Diamond.  A Papatoetoe native of Niuean descent, TY is a rapper, songwriter, musician and producer.  Over the past ten years TY has firmly established himself as a solo artist, clocking up over eight million views and streams on YouTube and Spotify, across three albums; Now Or Never, Motivation and One Hundred. TY has toured extensively throughout New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific, gaining an extensive fan base.  TY also started his own label in 2010, Empire Records, signing artists such as Cody Wave, bKIDD and Tazman Jack.
 
TY’s new music project carries themes of love and support throughout, which reflects his positive state of mind after a tumultuous 2-year period.  Behind the scenes of his successful album ‘ONE HUNDRED’, the pressure TY put on himself to live up to a reputation, had some detrimental effects on the way he was living. With a young family to support and constant pressure to live up to a status, TY lost his way, and was saved by the love of his wife, his children and his church.  In his new music he shows a more sensitive side, and talks of the man he wants to be, rather than the man he is expected to be.   His latest releases are ‘Drive’ and ‘Never Too Far’.
 
Outside of music, TY has worked as a teacher aide at Auckland’s Rosehill Intermediate School, and has a passion for his children as well as fitness training.
