Troy Kingi (Te Arawa, Ngāpuhi, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui) is an actor and a multi-genre musician originally from Rotorua, Te Kaha and Te Aute. A small-town boy at heart, Kingi is now based in Kerikeri, Bay of Islands, where he lives a pretty simple life with his wife and five children.
Described by the New Zealand Music Commission as “our Northland treasure”, Kingi rose to fame after the release of his first two multi-award-winning albums Guitar Party at Uncles Bach and Shake That Skinny Ass All the Way to Zygertron, along with memorable major roles in Kiwi films including Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Pā Boys, Mt Zion and The Kick.
Kingi’s latest album, The Ghost of Freddie Cesar, is inspired by memories of his father who disappeared fifteen years ago, 70s funk, and the music and stories of Freddie Cesar – an exceptional yet relatively unknown African-American funk musician.
Don't miss your chance to hear one of New Zealand's finest perform in your very own backyard!
