Hinewehi Mohi- Writing

Hinewehi Mohi was raised speaking Te Reo Maori. Her father is Maori and her mother is British and Irish,she was born in the historic Hawks bay town of Waipukurau. Her father never knew how to speak Te Reo but at the age of 36 he learnt, taught her at the age of 10 and there whanau how to speak Maori.

Hinewehi Mohi is also educated in Te Reo. She went to an all girls Maori school in Hastings, the school she went to was St Joseph's/ Hato Hōhepa. In 1985 she attended a University in Waikato where she was in the Maori department, so that's where she learnt more things about the Maori culture and lots of other things.

Her first album was released in 1999. The name of her song was called Oceania, the whole song was in Te Reo Maori. She has around 20 songs that have been released, in 1999 she was in London to release her first song. She was then asked to sing the national anthem for NZ for the Rugby World cup, and that's when she shook all the rugby fans at the stadium and back at home.
