Nesian Mystik

A lot of the users of Nesian Mystik met in Western Springs University, where they formed a music group initially called “Tropical Penguins” to enter a college skill competition. This group, comprising Te Awanui “Awa” Reeder, Donald “MC Oldwun” McNulty, Junior Rikiau, and David “Dmon Finguz” Atai had been became a member of by Heathdale “Notiq” Manukau and Feleti “Sabre” Strickson-Pua before changing their name to Nesian Mystik in mention of their various varied Polynesian backgrounds, as well as the influence of these on their mild R&B/hip-hop music. The brand new lineup was more lucrative, winning the local portion of the Pasifika Beats competition. A string of immediately effective singles was accompanied by their recording Polysaturated in 2002, which debuted at number 1 and was qualified platinum multiple occasions. Their 2006 recording, Freshmen, managed to get to quantity eight.
