Chart-topping Bay musician Tiki Taane is reaching out for some young local talent for his upcoming single expected to be released this summer.
The award-winning musician is on a mission to find a Bay of Plenty youth choir to feature in his song, No Place Like Home, which will be released in January.
Taane has called the Bay home for the past five years and his new single will be created with the help of musicians from the Bay of Plenty.
"I just wanted to sing about this area and try to use as many local musicians as I could," Taane said.
"I've been sitting on this little riff and vocal line I've had and I thought now is the time to pull it together and try to get it out for summer."
