In February 2024, as part of an annual music series, five Tāmaki artists were invited to the basement of the Central City Library, a place of archive, to enact a living archive, through story and song. This is the third year of the Ka Mua Ka Muri te Iho Auaha, the perspective of artistry and talent from the Tāmaki underground continues.
Juga was pathwayed to Ka Mua Ka Muri via Stand Up Stand Out, where she was a finalist in three categories and winner of the 2023 Solo vocal category. A gifted dancer, musician, storyteller and a very strong vocalist with a sweet tone that she delivers with ease. Their ceiling of Juga is immense, and we expect this young Tangata Moana songstress from the central west of Tāmaki to go from strength to strength in her musical journey.
