Arii plays a wide range of genres and events – from festival house to upbeat private events, weaving house, disco, funk, hip hop, RnB, dub, UKG and even country into different sets. She also expresses her personality through bold fashion, often called the “purple-haired mermaid” for her extravagant style that complements every event she attends and performs at.
“It’s how I like to express myself, no matter what anyone else thinks, to advocate being a woman in the industry chasing her goals.”
She began performing arts school at age 11, studying piano, guitar, vocals and classical music theory. That foundation led to songwriting and eventually into DJing.
Over the past decade she has built her brand across New Zealand. In 2016 she expanded overseas, flying to Fiji to perform for Coca-Cola NZ, then returning to play a New Year’s Eve waterfront show in Nadi across the next few years. She has since played clubs in Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Perth, and toured New Zealand with regular shows in Auckland, Hamilton, Queenstown, Hawkes Bay, Tauranga, Christchurch and Wellington. She has also performed multiple George FM Spring Break Fiji sets. In February 2023 she headlined at Rarotonga’s main nightclub, Rehab Rarotonga. In May 2024 she travelled to the USA to perform in Washington DC for luxury private events.
Arii has performed alongside international acts including Example, and supported Australian DJ/producers Hot Dub Time Machine and Peking Duk on their recent New Zealand tours. She has appeared at consecutive Our:House festivals and performed with New Zealand artists such as Sons of Zion, Che Fu, Kings, Boh Runga and Stan Walker.
