Tiki Taane Artist, Producer, Engineer, Director, Experimentalist.
One of the most well known and diverse artists and producers in Aotearoa NZ, Tiki Taane is considered to be an influential element in the pioneering of Aotearoa's bass culture, as well as the country's most prolific genre bending experimentalist.
First hitting the scene in 1991, Tiki rose to prominence as the sound engineer and front man for Salmonella Dub, joining them in 1996 til 2007.
In 2008 Tiki released his double platinum selling, self produced solo album “Past Present Future” featuring the beautiful acoustic ballard “Always On My Mind” which rose to #1 and broke two all time records - it sat in the Official NZ charts for a record 55 weeks and was also the first ever NZ digital single to acheive platinum sales.
Tiki has produced multi-platinum, chart topping singles, albums and remixes not only for himself but for NZ artists such as Salmonella Dub, Six60, Kora, Katchafire, LAB, and longtime friends Shapeshifter - he’s been their exclusive live sound engineer since 1999.
