Hori Shaw emerged as one of Aotearoa’s exciting new reggae voices after overcoming a life-changing accident that left him relearning how to walk; during recovery he turned to music as a form of expression and motivation. His breakthrough came in 2024 when several singles reached No. 1 on the Aotearoa Top 20 charts, helping establish him as a standout artist in the Pacific roots-reggae scene. Songs such as “Country Roads,” “Paradise 35,” and collaborations like “Ready To Ride” with Te Wehi expanded his audience across New Zealand and Australia. His live shows — ranging from sold-out headline concerts to major festival appearances — are known for their heartfelt energy and strong connection with fans. Shaw has received major recognition, including People’s Choice Award (2024) and Breakthrough Artist of the Year (2025) at the Aotearoa Music Awards, further cementing his status as a fast-rising roots and reggae performer touring internationally, including Australia.
