I am Mathew Maugagaoa Fano Lotoa Uili Farani Glanville. NZ born Samoan. Over the years I have been a DJ, singer, karaoke host, event manager - from club nights to grunt work at festivals. I curate space, have secured performance venues, art spaces and coordinated a collective of emerging artists. I am a story teller, speech maker, sock puppet performer and love to take the stage.

Over the last 20 years I have used music, paint, drama in my work as a community development and youth worker, facilitating healing and personal development with therapeutic arts processes.

Moving forward, while continuing in music I am focuse to explore film, photography and word to share stories that inform, educate and challenge.
