Cody Wave

'I come from a musically talented family in the Hawkes Bay. My father and uncles are all musicians. My siblings are also quite musical, my sisters can sing and my brothers write/rap/produce. That’s where my passion for music came from.

I first learnt how to play guitar at age 6, from there as I got older I learnt how to play the bass, drums and piano. At 11 years old my brothers taught me how to use a program (DAW) called FruityLoops and I started making beats.

By the time I was 12 I had joined the school band (Band Leader/Lead Guitarist) and did school productions.

Fast forward 5 years, I ended up leaving a computer course I was doing at the time and got a job. I saved up enough money to buy some studio gear and started collaborating with my brothers and friends.

When I hit my 20s I was producing/recording local artists in the Hawkes Bay and helping out with a music program at Taiwhenua O Heretaunga.'
