NRG Rising

We are New Zealand's only Fresh Funky Female R&B Reggae band bringing you our style and groovy feels with an uplifting upbeat vibe and sound.

We are a 6 piece reggae/r&b band, and our focus is on composing original music and songs that we know you will love. We love to play original music and have a strong focus on this and we also perform covers many of which are reggae but not all. These songs compliment our gigs and upbeat, fun friendly onstage persona. We play all our original music at every gig, and only play our original music at festivals, or shows. We love to do original r&b reggae music that you will love with a distinctly female feel, with the three irie sistahs/ladies fronting the group with their melodious harmonies., and fresh funky reggae flows.

Our band NRG Rising! was founded in April 2009 by Brother Truce, (Bevin Hira) Sistah B, (Benita Tahuri) Anahera, (Anahera-Pono Tahuri Whakatope) Honey, (Harete Whariki Tahuri-Whakatope) Shaun Mortensen. Jason Davies joined us soon after and is now rhythm guitarist bringing experience and a magic touch to the sound and feel of the music.
