Biography
Awhimai Fraser is a singer, actor, songwriter and multidisciplinary creative from Waikato, with whakapapa to Ngāti Pūkenga, Ngāi Tāmanuhuri and Ngāti Kahungunu.
She plays Matangi in Moana 2, part of the film’s original motion picture soundtrack, which was nominated for both an American Music Award and a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture.
Awhimai’s also well known for her voice work in the Reo Māori adaptations of Disney favourites – voicing Matangi in Moana 2 Reo Māori, Elsa in Frozen Reo Māori, and Dolores in Encanto Reo Māori.
On screen, she’s appeared in Shortland Street, four seasons of Ahikāroa, and plays Maia in three seasons (and counting) of the children’s series Toi Time!
Awhimai is a graduate of Whitireia Performing Arts and has been performing live, both nationally and internationally, for over a decade – across music, theatre and musical theatre – including recent shows with the NZSO (Toi Time Live, Hans Zimmer Live).
She also lends her voice to radio and television campaigns, is a singer-songwriter, and features vocally on soundtracks for shows like TVNZ’s Good Grief and TV2’s VEGAS.
