Tree’s journey began in South Auckland, where the hymns of her Samoan villages Le’auva’a, Saleimoa, Lefaga, Salelologa, Lufilufi and Moata’a echoed through a household grounded in faith and song. By fifteen, she and her cousin defied expectations to win a national high-school competition with their original band, proving that resilience and creativity were her true calling.
