At its core, Beyond the Beat exists to amplify the voices of Aotearoaβs musical talent.
Our mission is to create a dynamic, culturally rich platform that reflects the true diversity of New Zealandβs music sceneβcelebrating the creativity, resilience, and originality of our artists.
In an industry where noise is constant and opportunity is rare, Beyond the Beat offers space for authentic expression and meaningful connection. By pairing emerging artists with iconic local hits, we provide a powerful stage for collaboration, reinvention, and storytellingβshowcasing the unique perspectives and talents that define our creative landscape.
Driven by kaupapa MΔori values and a deep belief that our artists are taonga, we are committed to nurturing the future of Aotearoa music. Beyond the Beat isn't just a seriesβitβs a movement.
One that champions artistic innovation, uplifts underrepresented voices, and builds lasting bridges between generations of musicians, all while connecting with audiences in fresh, accessible, and engaging ways.
