Ria Hall released her EP of original material (both in english and te reo Maori) on October 3rd 2011. Subscribe to her youtube channel RiaHallNZ, it features snippets from her EP release gig and her Electronic Press Kit.
Soooooo humbled by this talent...and these people....my God planet!! see them as one of the most beautiful looking race on this globe and one of the most talented!!! As my little Brother said to me...." He saved this place (NZ) and its native people as his own..... it is absolute paradise on earth"
@rockymafi "Shes the only maori thats actually got good vocals" that's such a bullshit generalisation. she's certainly one of the best maori singers i've ever heard, but that doesn't mean that no other maori has good vocals.
She's soooooo good. I used to support DJ for RIA & Ricky-lee when they used to sing together back in early 2000's. To watch RIA live, is the shit.... blows your mind how good she really is. Good Luck RIA ;)
OMG I didnt realise how gud you are lol...im your sisters (kylie) husbands nephew lol...i knew you were a singer but never actrually listened to you lol you are SOOOO good if u eva come to the GOLD cOAST or melbourne ill def com to ur gigs lol
@imani21 perfection is in the imperfections cuzzy...better to not over analyse the situation and love it for what it is...thats how we roll in Aotearoa!
@NZsouljagirl I think you meant ANAYZE.. however I call it as I hear it, and if you can't take a simple positive criticism then your lying to your self... be BLUNT and upfront.. that's how we roll in THE U.S.A!!! tooddles.
@imani21 nah bro, I mean ANALYSE...NZ styles...Im all about supporting our Maori people, not being over ANALYTICAL or judgemental - we've had that shit since Feb 6 1840 so I prefer to take the alternative route!
@imani21 I agreed with your first criticism.. however now, you are just being over analytical lol. In NZ we use S instead of Z.. but it should actually have an I not Y lol. Analise.. NZ spelling :D
dang had goosebumps frm da first note n thru out da whole song..n im tellin i dont get that all da time..wow! BEAUTIFUL VOICE..much alofas frm a samoan sistah in long beach, CAlifornia GET EM MAORI GURL
Damn girl, you gotta release something...stuff out these days is either too commercial, too soft or just flat out boring...shed some light on the world with your originals and kill it!
