Adeaze

Adeaze is a New Zealand R&B and hip hop duo formed in the late 1990s by brothers Nait and Sam Vahala. They emerged from the Auckland music scene and gained national recognition with their blend of soulful harmonies and Pacific-influenced production. Their 2002 debut album "Rise and Shine" topped the New Zealand charts and produced the hit single "Getting Stronger." The duo is known for smooth vocal arrangements and themes rooted in family, faith, and Polynesian identity. They have collaborated with artists such as Scribe and contributed to the broader Pacific music movement in Aotearoa.
