}}Ladi6 (born Karoline Tamati,[1] 7 November 1982[2][3] in Christchurch, New Zealand,[4]) is a recording artist of Samoan descent.[10] She spent six months living in Berlin and touring Europe in both 2010[5] and 2011.[1] Her debut album Time Is Not Much debuted at number 4 on the New Zealand Top 40 Album chart.[13] and her second album The Liberation Of... debuted at number 6[14] and was certified gold.[4][16] Her single Like Water was certified platinum in June 2011.[17] She has won many awards, including Best Female Solo Artist and Best Urban Hip Hop Album at the 2011 New Zealand Music Awards and Best Urban/Hip Hop Album at the 2009 New Zealand Music Awards. The current line-up of the wider Ladi6 group is Ladi6, her partner Parks (a.k.a. Brent Park) and Julien Dyne.[1] Ladi6 has been called "New Zealand's answer to Erykah Badu".[1]

Ladi6 is a spokesperson for the Not Our Future anti-smoking campaign.[6]

Early life, Sheelahroc & Verse Two

Ladi6 was born and raised in Christchurch, but her family moved to Africa for a year and a half when she was a teenager. This is where she says she first started to write and play music.[7] After she returned to Christchurch in the mid 90's, she started her entertainment career as a break dancer. When she was 16 she formed her first music group, Sheelahroc, with her cousin Tyra Hammond and Sarah Tamaira (a.k.a. Voodoo Child) in May 1999.[8][9] Sheelahroc released the hit single If I Gave U Th' Mic and won the award for Most Promising New Act at the 2001 bNet Music Awards.

After Sheelahroc broke up, Ladi6 went on to form Verse Two with Parks, Julien Dyne, Markus Vanilau, Elia gaitau, Vanessa Mcgowan, Dj 4130 and Matipi Turua, as well as a variety of guest musicians.[9] They released the singles Danger and Gold (featuring her cousin Scribe and produced by Mu of Fat Freddy's Drop).[10][11] Gold went to Number 1 on the NZ Alternative charts in its first week of play on the bNet stations and was the 5th most played song on the bNet stations in 2003.[11] Danger was re-issued as a bonus track on Time Is Not Much.[12] Ladi6 was nominated for Best Vocalist/MC at the 2003 bNet Awards[29] and Verse 2 won a bNet Award for Best New Act in 2003.[9] Verse Two supported international acts such as The Roots, De La Soul and 50 Cent.[13]

The current line-up of the wider Ladi6 group is Ladi6, her partner Parks (a.k.a. Brent Park) and Julien Dyne and on keys Brandon Haru. Also an important and vital member of the group is Steve Roberts their sound technician.[1] Ladi6 has been called "New Zealand's answer to Erykah Badu".[1]

Ladi from Ladi6 has been an advocate for many health campaigns and has helped to profile certain issues through speaking out on social media.

She appeared on Songs From the Inside in 2015 alongside Troy Kingi, MC Scribe and Anika Moa. Mentoring incacerated women in Christchurch women's prison in songwriting.

Also on December 2014 saw the release of Oscar Kightley’s compelling documentary ‘Ladi6 – Return to Africa,’ which follows Ladi6 on a journey of musical rediscovery to where it all began for her, revisiting the times and places where she was inspired 16 years ago to become a musician. Ladi found her musical calling experiencing life in Africa as a teenager, learning the roots of her talents from her father and local Tanzanians, writing her own melodies, lyrics and playing guitar.

The 24 minute documentary captures an epic adventure for Ladi6, her partner and producer Parks, and their son Philli.
