Hori Shaw

Description

From Ōpōtiki on New Zealand’s East Coast, Hori Shaw has quickly become one of Aotearoa’s most exciting roots-reggae artists. After a life-changing accident left him relearning how to walk, music became his voice, leading to a breakout in 2024 with multiple songs hitting No. 1 on the Aotearoa Top 20.

Since then, gold-certified singles like Country Roads and Paradise 35, and collaborations such as Ready To Ride with Te Wehi, have expanded his reach across New Zealand and Australia. His live shows, from sold-out headline dates to major festival appearances have become known for their raw energy and heartfelt connection with audiences.

Winner of the 2024 People’s Choice Award and 2025 Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Hori Shaw blends authenticity, East Coast grit, and soulful storytelling that resonates with a growing audience across New Zealand, Australia and beyond.
