Loopy Tunes (L-R): Leah Williams-Partington and Siu Williams-Lemi – who feature on a Grammy-nominated album!
New Zealand children’s music duo Loopy Tunes feature on an album which was nominated for Best Children’s Music Album at this year’s Grammys: Flor Bromley’s ‘Herstory’. Other nominees in the category included singing star Tori Amos and rapper Mega Ran, so they were in good company. ⁠

Loopy Tunes are Ōtautahi Christchurch-based sisters Siu Williams-Lemi and Leah Williams-Partington, who whakapapa to Ngāpuhi, Tongan, and Chinese ancestry. ⁠

Their kaupapa is to use Māori and Pacific languages in everyday life, through music – they’ve even released 10 albums in 10 different Pasifika languages, including Rotuman, Kiribati and Tuvaluan. ⁠
