Dillastrate have established themselves as one of New Zealand’s most dynamic and forward-thinking acts. Blending soul, electronica, roots and distinctince Aotearoa sounds, and known for their electrifying live performances and deep musical chemistry, the duo have captivated audiences across the motu and beyond, performing to crowds of over 20,000, and earning a reputation as highly sought-after session musicians for both stage and studio. Dillastrate’s commitment to creating powerful waiata reo Māori has garnered national and international attention. Their award-winning waiata reo Māori have earned national and international acclaim, including the 2025 Silver Scrolls Tohu Maioha Award for Kei Whati Te Marama, regular placements in the Aotearoa Top 20 and RadioScope Airplay charts, and synchronisation via global channels including Netflix and international sports broadcasts (New Zealand Cricket theme song three seasons running). The composition of Dillastrate reflects its vision – bringing together Māori and Tangata Tiriti, working collaboratively to create music that honours, celebrates and uplifts te reo and te ao Māori and encourages others to do the same.
