Te Wehi has had quite the year. Through 2025 he held the number one spot on the Aotearoa Music Charts with a consistency that most artists can only dream of, took his live show to the main stages of Homegrown and Rhythm & Vines, and supported L.A.B on their New Zealand and Australian tour. Not bad for someone who, by his own account, never set out to chase fame in the first place.
Now he’s stepping things up again. Today he announces I’m Home, his debut album — a 15-track project made in collaboration with producer Kings, out May 1 — alongside his first ever headline tour across New Zealand this June. Six dates, six cities, from Hamilton to Christchurch, taking in Auckland Town Hall, Wellington’s St James Theatre and stops in Tauranga, Rotorua and more along the way.
If you haven’t come across Te Wehi yet, his music is rooted in real-life stories, cultural pride and deep whakapapa — the kind of songwriting that connects because it’s genuinely honest rather than performed. He built his fanbase the old-fashioned way, through music that meant something, and the crowds that have been showing up at his live shows reflect that. Auckland Town Hall is a significant room for a debut headline tour. He’s earned it.
The debut single ‘I’m Home’ is out now and sets the tone for what the album promises to be — warm, grounded and entirely his own.
