First hitting the stage in 1991, Tiki went on to become the live engineer and eventually frontman of leading band Salmonella Dub in 1996, which catapulted Tiki to embark upon a life changing solo career that saw his music and production skills reach record breaking, award winning heights.

The band consisting of Dan Antunovich on bass, Poihakena Reid on keys, sax and talkbox and Adam Tobeck on drums, this ensemble is talent a-plenty.
