SnapChat: Che Fu

Che Fu will perform a free concert at the Royal Easter Show on Friday March 30 at Auckland Showgrounds.

My first job was ... working at my dad's cafe in West Lynn, Auckland, as a gopher. Mmmmm ... pies.

It taught me ... too many pies are bad for your health.

My big break came … when I followed my Rarotongan mate to guitar class at high school and subsequently joined the school orchestra.

The last job I quit was … my job as a poster guy when I was a teenager. I remember doing a poster run for the Guns N' Roses concert and I was paid to monitor a couple of walls in the CBD. I was paid to make sure no one posted over our images. Mate, I didn't realise it could get so serious. I had an altercation with some competitors, and basically, I said: "Just wait 'til my shift is finished, and it's all yours." I quit that night.

The most famous person I've ever met is … Bob Marley, when he came to New Zealand in 1979. I was 4 years old. He came to perform a concert in Auckland at Western Springs. My mum (Miriam Rauhihi) acquired some backstage passes from Rita Marley, and I got to meet Bob at his hotel in Greenlane. I've got mileage out of this story, but it's a definitely grand memory that I cherish.

He was ... extremely gracious. I was young at the time, but I remember him being very kind.

The best time I've had on set was … I've had many, but right now I'm gonna go with a show I performed in at Hyde Park, London, for Queen Elizabeth II's golden jubilee celebration 2002. I remember coming out on stage to a rousing haka put on by the crowd made up of many (seemed like a million) ex-pat Mari and Kiwis, it was an exhilaratingly proud moment.

But the worst was … too many of these, but I'm gonna a go with a show I did in Christchurch with Supergroove in the mid-90s. We used to have a mini-tramp on stage, for no other reason other than to jump around on while we performed. During the set the front row started chanting "mini-tramp, mini-tramp ..." so without thinking, we moved the contraption to the front edge of the stage. Not long into it, a young man made a big dive, the crowd parted, and he landed face-first on the solid floor. The noise of him landing was so loud: "SMACK!" We all just stopped playing, mid-song. We ended the show then and there, and my last memory of the gig was mopping up a lot of blood - yeesh! The young man ended up okay. I think ...

My dream role would be … as an international 5-star hotel room service consultant. I swear, it's my spiritual calling ...
