Adeaze is the two man R&B duo of brothers Nainz and Viiz Tupa’i. A new movement in the sound of contemporary R&B music. Starting their musical career at the ages of 4 and 5 respectively, Adeaze are the architects of their own sound featuring soaring harmonies and emotional song writing far beyond their years.
Brought up playing music in the church, the brothers used the time wisely crafting their skills with different instruments and live performance. Their passion for music continued and Adeaze performed eagerly at various church and school functions, during their adolescent years. In 1999 the brothers attended Excel School of Performing Arts and received Diplomas in Performance graduating at the top of the class, followed by a national tour of New Zealand with the students of Excel. The same year Adeaze caught the attention of Brotha D from Dawn Raid, who recognising the talent got the duo to record two songs for the upcoming compilation Southside Story (Dawn Raids Debut Album). After seeing them perform at the Smoke Free Rock Quest in 1997 where they won the pasifika beats, I saw the potential in their sound states Brotha D.
Officially signed to Dawn Raid Entertainment at the end of 2002, Adeaze began work on there debut album Always and For Real a simplistic snapshot of true artistic expression. We wanted to create a sound distinctive to ourselves, our Polynesian roots, and the way we were brought up to sing says Nainz. Those timeless principles are captured in the emotional lead off single A Life With You. A mid tempo love song (already being requested on radio) which highlights the depth and emotional posturing of Adeaze’s song writing.
Adeaze have created a soundtrack of honest, emotional songs that will capture the minds of lovers and friends the world over. Always and for Real is a present to everyone that has supported us over the years and to everyone looking for that something in their life. Adeaze: Always and For Real. The definitive album for Polynesian R&B and Soul Music the world over.
