- Stan Walker has been a household name in Aotearoa for over a decade now.
The singer from Tauranga Moana, Tūhoe and Ngāti Ranginui rose to fame as the winner of Australian Idol in 2009 and topped the charts shortly thereafter with his debut single, "Black Box." Since then he’s released multiple albums, starred in a number of films, judged television shows and performed across the world. His success as a performing artist across such a variety of mediums is unparalleled.
Not only has Walker earned a total of six gold, four platinum, one double platinum and one triple platinum single in New Zealand across five studio albums, he has collected eight New Zealand Music Awards along the way. He has also won the Waiata Māori Award for Radio Airplay Record of the Year five times. His live performances are legendary and, as well as headlining his own National Tours, he has shared a touring stage with Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Ciara, Jay Sean, Travie McCoy, Ja Rule, Akon and Jessica Mauboy.
Stan has become one of New Zealand’s most-loved figures, respected for his Māoritanga, love for his culture and pride for his people. He celebrates te ao Maori in everything he does and wants to inspire younger generations that they can do anything they want in life.
This is his story - Stan Walker - Indigenous 100.

I think a lot of people in the world mistake self-esteem with lack of humility. Thank you so much, Stan Walker, you are awesome, keep going strong, everybody needs you and people like you. 🌟😊
I love both Stan’s. I love your beautiful soul and your beautiful voice from Massachusetts in America ❤️🎼
Ka pai Stan, I remember when you started out and you appeared at Matatini Christchurch, I was one of those shy ones who wanted to just hug you because you are Maaori and you won Australian Idol. But you looked too shy too and I think at that time we were excited behind closed doors, I was busy with Aukati kaipaipa at the time, making Aotearoa smoke free and thats coming up in 2025. I cant sing to save myself, but I am kapa kaiarahi and will do my best for my whanau too. I love your work Stan, you are amazing, God Bless to you and your whanau and be safe.
Love you Stan. Please don't let anything or anone change the real you EXCEPT God. He knows uou better than you know yourself. Continue eith all that you do unto the Lord. You have been called Stan. Bless you.❤❤❤
So much respect for Stan and what he stands for. Your mana is strong
From idol to now - your growth is amazing. Such a great communicator - you are truly gifted

.... Ephesians 3:20-21.
....To him who by means of his power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of: to God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, for ever and ever! Amen.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I have followed Stan's career, all these years. He has always, always impressed me. He is a fine example for his whānau in Mangatawa, Tauranga Moana.
"We can't be ignorant in today's day and age." Ka tika hoki! E ao ō kupu, Stan. E mihi ana.
OMG totally understand the shift in how we were bought up to free ourselves from that since having our children and then grandchildren. It's been a presence and showing and giving Aroha. Letting them know that they're of value and loved. The most meaningful is that they know their whakapapa and their turungawaewae, these mokopuna being born in Australia and Aotearoa.
Everything you said Stan is soooooo true 😊✌. Confidence is a stigma in the Maori and Pasifica iwi. Much love Stan you mean Maori mean 😎🤙
Agree. Loved this. Kia kaha Stan, we all got you. You said everything right and yes don't envy the part being in the spot light (public eye).
Stan is such a TRUE and wonderful Young Man. I truly appreciate his Talent, Heart not just his People and Culture but for ALL Cultures. Stan GOD is Blessing you, Family, your Life, Passion, Purpose and Legacy. Please give him strength to keep going and standing in his truth.🙏🏽🥰
So proud of you Stan❤
Love you Stan. A special young man! You are blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow another brilliant interview could listen to Stan all day, alnight ❤❤.
You make so much sense Stan, love you, love your music ☮️
Hear hear Stan. Bring out the love and emotions we had to hide when we were kids. You are a bit younger than me but same type of "no emotion" upbringing. Love what you stand for. Whaia Tga
Kia or a whaea 😍
Beautiful kórero brudda💯💯🤎
Wow! Stan's message is truly amazing. It's so uplifting and heartwarming. He is an inspiration and a shining example of how we can make a positive impact in the world. We can all have a dream, and with hard work, we can make it happen. Hearing his passion for advocacy and his belief that everyone has value is truly inspiring. He has touched so many lives, and I feel fortunate to have witnessed his incredible story and shared the emotions it evoked in me. Thank you!
Couldn't agree more!
What an awesome interview, thank you Julian ☮️
Kia ora Stan, I loved your singing, I have been a fan of yours since you were on Australian Idol, and was really amazed when I watched this video your journey and all the struggles you've been through with cancer, since your singing Career, NOT to mention your childhood upbringing and abuse. I really do understand every word you have mentioned in this interview, what you have said about teaching this generation these days, about living life, and teaching them right from wrong. Your The Man, you keep up the good work. :)
You're such an awesome and inspirational person. Keep doing great things 💕
💖🙏 Nga mihi kia koe e Stan!! You're life's journey, both good and bad no doubt resonates with a lot of not only Maori, but people in general. I am thankful to have watched this interview, and i also feel soooo happy that you are standing, sincerely n respectfully in a world that has not always been open to our people. So as Maori I am forever appreciative of you representing us and our tupuna with the respect and dignity for ourselves and others that we hold most important in our tikanga. God bless and all the best for you and yours in the future xx 🙏💖 xx
Humble shyness i really get you
Stan always delivers no matter what great interview thankyou stan and Julian!
Wow I now got a lot more understanding about your passion stan awesome work an in what you believe in could not stop listening to you stan keep it up 😊 good job.
He's a 🌟
Stan you are an exceptional human, if I ever get the pleasure of running into you it would be an honour, you are so humble and real “and awesome”. What a journey you have been on and what a lot you have to share. I love that you are so in touch with your purpose. You radiate an energy that just touches people right in the heart. Your voice is heavenly and affects people in unique ways. Thank you for sharing all of your gifts and wisdom with the world, you truly are inspiring and I absolutely love you and everything you represent ❤ So much respect for you as a person and as much as I love your voice and your music on their own, I am loving learning about you more as a person and what you stand for, it makes me feel so much more connected to your songs. “I am” brought me to tears and it has infected my soul it plays over and over in my head especially the chorus and I can’t even speak the language hahaha I don’t even know what I’m saying 😅 but I love it. I have been binge watching you tube reactions to the song because I get to share the experience with others who had the same response to hearing it for the first time. It was so rich with culture and such a deep message that I can’t stop thinking about it and all I can say is THANK YOU 🙏 I also watched the movie because the song compelled me to and I loved it, now I want to buy the book and give it to my mum for Mother’s Day 💕 it’s touching people’s lives all over the world. Love you Stan, you’re what I call an earth Angel ❤
A wonderful insightfully honest korero - Respect Stan!!
Mauri ora Stan kei runga noa atu koe I love that you've never forgotten about home I went to your concert in wgtn 💗💗 omg we had mean names too lmao your are so right when you said shame gosh yip humble it's a powerful word
Well spoken stan tika
What a great interviewer he allows Stan to speak some hosts just interrupt all the time.
I totally get what he’s feeling. If I were famous would be my feelings exactly. Even on social media I don’t want my whole self/life to be public. Being a peasant I enjoy my privacy. But if I were a celebrity I know it comes with the territory yet one MUST demand respect for their standards. Stan has standards and he owes himself to protect what but he can💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😍💕
It's definitely not an easy life for those in the limelight. Stan juggles his professional and home life with a lot of mana and courage. Inspiring ❤️
Hey Stan - thank you for your honesty here - such a very valuable good cause. I also just watched another video regarding your life of child abuse etc, and which also brought tears to my eyes. Your life in so many, many ways has been like another Australian singer - it's uncanny - I encourage you to read his new autobiography titled: Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within. What a similar story to yours it is and so full of valuable information that everyone needs to know about.
Tena Koe Stan raua ko Julian o korero mana!Tino Rawe!!Tautoko o korero wairua.keep going,keep evolving,keep being awesome!!Arohatinonunui.Joanna.xox
This dude is absolutely phenomenal! The transcript of this Korero should become Maori folk law.
Tino ātaahua hoki Stan 🥰
❤️
Kia Ora Stan God bless you always and your family Amen ❤
Just do you stan, i knew once you starting singing with our youths, your coming home ❤🤍🖤
