Myshaan

Myshaan, is a 23-year-old independent soul artist from Kirikiriroa, Hamilton. With over 117 collective weeks in the Official Top 20 Aotearoa Singles chart across three singles, Myshaan knows what it takes to make a great track and hold on to his listeners. Myshaan broke through internationally with his 2023 single ‘Sway’, which carried a strong Pacific flavour and quickly caught the attention of audiences across Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and beyond.
 
The momentum grew in 2024 with ‘Carry My Heart’, which went viral on TikTok and sparked local versions across the Islands, first in Fiji, then other Polynesian communities. Later in 2024, Myshaan studied abroad in Hawai‘i, where he immersed himself in Pacific Soul and built on the foundation he had already created. Hawai‘i deepened his connection to the Pacific, giving him a clearer vision of how far his music could travel and how much it resonated with people who saw themselves in his songs. Music has been in Myshaan’s life from the beginning. Raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he was always encouraged to sing, often asked to perform at services, and taught guitar by his mum, who never told him to quiet down.
 
Without many opportunities or mentors around him, Myshaan carved his own lane. That’s now part of what drives him to create pathways for others, especially Māori youth, to see music as a real and achievable career. Influenced by artists like Josh Tatofi, Maoli, Kolohe Kai, Teeks and Giveon, Myshaan blends soul with heartfelt storytelling. As a Christian, he doesn’t write worship music, but his songs are made to uplift and leave listeners with something wholesome. At the heart of it all, he wants to be seen as a staple artist for the Pacifica wayfinder who carries culture with him, wherever the music goes.
 
Myshaan has topped the RadioScope Te Reo Māori Airplay Chart ending 2025, with his reo Māori version of ‘Missed Your Chance’. Across his career so far, he was nominated for PMA Best Male Artist in 2025, and 10 of his tracks have featured on the Hot Aotearoa Singles chart, a reflection of his growing fan base across the motu. Myshaan looks to ride this momentum as he surges into 2026, which includes the likes of his debut album 'My Love’ that was released on February 27.
