A sibling duo known as 'The Mitis' are breaking the mould, with their Pacific flavour and redefining the country music scene. Country music and Polynesian families may seem like an unlikely pairing, but with their unique blend of traditional and modern influences, they have captured the attention and admiration of industry legends and are set to make a lasting impact.
Sonny wrote this heartfelt song, 'See You Again' reflecting on his close relationship with his grandpa, and how much he misses him. And his reflections of the missed milestones of his life, without his grandpa being here to experience them with him.
From a young age, Sonny and Tiana were surrounded by the soulful sounds of country legends, listening to their mother's cherished cassette tapes of Glen Campbell and Johnny Cash. This musical foundation ignited a lifelong passion for the genre. Drawing inspiration from their Polynesian heritage and infusing it into their country melodies, 'The Mitis' have developed a distinct and captivating musical style that resonates with audiences both young and old.
What sets The Mitis apart is their ability to reimagine classic country hits with a refreshing twist. Their innovative covers of timeless tracks like "Jolene" and "Blue Bayou" caught the attention of industry icons Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt, who were captivated by their unique interpretation. With their ukulele as a key instrument, they seamlessly incorporate a Polynesian element, creating a harmonious fusion of genres that is entirely their own.
No strangers to the music scene, 'The Mitis' have honed their craft through years of experience, gaining praise and recognition along the way. Their journey has taken them to many national country music awards and Tiana to the Star Search in Samoa. They have competed against the best and showcased their remarkable talent, leaving audiences captivated with their heartfelt performances.
While country music might not typically dominate the music radar in New Zealand, 'The Mitis' are on a mission to change that. With their refreshing sound and undeniable charisma, this dynamic duo is poised to make an indelible mark on country music.
