Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi (born 26 October 1993), known by his mononym Teeks, is a Māori soul singer from New Zealand. His debut album, Something to Feel, was released on 26 March 2021.[1]

The music video for his single, "Without You", was released on 19 August 2020. It was directed by Tom Gould and was shot in Hokianga during January 2020. Teeks has said, "It's my favourite place in the world", adding that this is the territory his father is from.[2]

Life and career

Teeks was born in 1993 in Northland and has Ngāpuhi, Ngāi Te Rangi and Ngāti Ranginui whakapapa.[3] He grew up in his father's home in Opononi, near Hokianga from the age of eleven, but also spent significant time in Tauranga, where his mother lives.[4] After high school he studied music and taught Māori at Unitec.

At the 2017 New Zealand Music Awards, Teeks won Best Māori Artist and was nominated for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Best Soul/RnB Artist.[5]

He performed the New Zealand National anthem at the 1st rugby test match between New Zealand and South Africa on 15 July 2023, putting on quite an interesting spin thereon in the process.
