It’s so fitting that he performed this at Power Women Summit when one of the lines mentions Kurawaka, the birth place of humanity where the first human was a woman.
Stan Giving it 💯... singing his heart out with a powerfully rousing and inspirational performance. Let your Star shine Bright for the Whole World to see and Claim your rightful place on the World Stage. Show them who you are as an artist and what you stand for as an indigenous person through our Maori culture. Thank you for being a great ambassador and role model for our people and sharing our culture with the rest of the world. From a very Proud Maori and New Zealander.
Hmmmm as a Maori woman raised in my culture. I not only feel Stans music but relate whole heartedly to the lyrics which mean that new love is self love.
Kia ora bro - You put your life in Gods hands when you were sick, and you trusted & believed in him - that faith has given you international recognition - nga mihi hoki kia koe Stan
It's your time Stan💯 Take OUR Beautiful Māori culture & language to the next level on the world stage🥰 Such a Unique & Authentic sound💖 Kia Ora from Bunyip, Country Victoria, Australia. Born in Whakatāne, Bred in Tokoroa - AOTEAROA-NewZealand💯🥰💖💕

He is tapping into something much more powerful than Hollywood...Nature, Earth and Culture. Wow. This is frighteningly good. Authentic Art right here. Ava I respect you for being open.
I hope we get the movie Origin into Aotearoa soon. That movie needs recognition here. Watching the trailer is not enough. Thank you Stan God has blessed you with an amazing voice and thank you Ava for choosing Stan and making the movie Origin. Cannot wait to see it here in Aotearoa

Stunning Live performance.
THIS is one of the greatest vocalists on the planet, and a damn fine songwriter as well.
Well done.
It’s so fitting that he performed this at Power Women Summit when one of the lines mentions Kurawaka, the birth place of humanity where the first human was a woman.
If you look at the movie about Stans life, that is miracle in itself. And now his ancestors are leading him to bring us all together.
