FREIGHT FREE DELIVERY IN NZ! Born and raised in Auckland New Zealand, Lika is an aspiring singer/songwriter who enjoys the performing arts. In her early years Lika demonstrated an enjoyment of music and started to sing initially to friends and family, and has continued to work on honing vocal versatility. Lika is proud of her Tongan and Samoan heritage and the musical enjoyment that both cultures embody.

Lika's parents Siaki and Kelela recognized her talent early on encouraging her to sing, providing tuition and guidance from some of New Zealand's best vocal coaches from age 5. Katherine Watts, Stuart Clarke and Jennifer Austin developed her singing and confidence enabling her to reach out to others performing and singing.

In 2008 Lika enrolled at the Opera Factory in Newmarket Auckland. She competed in her school talent quest and won the best junior vocalist last year. Judges at the talent quest encouraged her to audition for the Walt Disney Princess Moana role. She sent in her video and got a call back to audition live at CNA CASTING in Ponsonby, Auckland.

Lika was involved in the 2015 NZ Singing Intensive with New York Celebrity Vocal Coach & Grammy winning songwriter Wendy Parr, a great learning experience as a singer and a songwriter.
