After the release his new single Introducing, 21-year-old New Zealand artist Muroki is excited to share the announcement of his upcoming EP Heading East, available Friday 16 September via Olive Records / Universal Music and Australian and New Zealand tour. In Australia, Muroki’s Heading East tour takes him to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well as the Wanderer Festival in Sapphire Coast, NSW and Promiseland on the Gold Coast, QLD. The EP tour then heads back to New Zealand for headline shows including a rescheduled date at the San Fran in Wellington after covid caused the cancellation of his July date. He also appears at the Longline Classic festival in Gisborne.
For more information and tickets to catch him at one of his electric live shows please visit HERE Tickets to all shows go on sale at 11am AEST / 1pm NZT tomorrow, Tuesday 9 August. Heading East is Muroki’s second EP release. The six track collection includes the singles Find Me and Introducing, plus four as yet unheard tracks. Stirring the melting pot of Muroki’s musical influences, you can hear indie, pop, reggae and world music on songs like the chilled pop of Simple Pleasures or the heartfelt roots flavours in Found In Nairobi and the EP’s title track. Releasing a new collection of music and getting back out on the road promises to start Muroki’s summer in a bold way, connecting with his growing fanbase on both sides of the Tasman. ‘I’m super excited to be touring through New Zealand and Australia to share all my new music with you!’ says Muroki
Muroki’s smooth, roots based sound mixes his Raglan background of skating pavements and surfing breaks with inspiration from local music, his Kenyan background and sounds from the streets of North and South America. His breakout hit Wavy topped the NZ charts and the breezy soul-pop jam Surfin’ became a triple j playlist fave and was nominated by GQ as the single “..soundtrack of Summer.”
Muroki’s vocals catch your undivided attention, his voice a hypnotic instrument effortlessly caressing melodies to melt even the toughest of us. Release after release, Muroki continues to show us that he is someone you don’t want to be late on. He is set to take your heart.… if he hasn’t already.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
