TENEI KESHA (aka 10A)

PRODUCER / PROGRAMMER / MUSICIAN

Musical Arrangement and Creator

Tenei is a highly skilled musician with a remarkable aptitude for live instrumentation, including keyboards, drums, bass, and guitar. His exposure to classical piano lessons doubled with his innate talent, enabling him to perform with musicians beyond his years. Tenei's family background in professional music paved the way for his debut in the industry, producing for Jazzie's Groove (aka Caramel Groove) at the tender age of 15. His unique talent has earned him recognition among artists in the New Zealand music scene. Tenei's music production process involves layering each instrument, and recording them separately, resulting in a truly exceptional final product. He is a musical genius!
