An enigmatic talent in the entertainment and cultural scene, Nepia seamlessly blends his artistic talent with contemporary influences. With nearly 400,000+ followers on TikTok, and 300k on IG, he consistently entertains fans with his humorous takes on everyday New Zealand life.

Nepia's dedication to Māori culture is showcased through his involvement with the renowned Rotorua Kapa Haka group, Te Pikikotuku o Rongomai.

His talent transcends social media and television; while his role as Hemi in the series "Ahikāroa" garnered public recognition, his stage performances in productions like "Ngunguru I te ao, I te po" and "He Kura E Huna Ana" reveal his true artistic depth.

Deeply rooted in Māori culture, Nepia uses his platform to promote Te Reo Māori and foster a deeper understanding of Māori heritage. His mission is to unite people through a shared appreciation of this rich cultural history.

Recently, he toured New Zealand with "Te Reo Rangatira," an acclaimed series on revitalising the Māori language and culture.
