Kia ora koutou katoa, Hori Inc. is a Māori-led organisation based in the Tasman region, dedicated to uplifting music and culture, especially underground hip-hop. We provide a platform for unheard artists to shine through live shows, workshops, and community outreach, creating spaces that heal, connect, and empower. Our founder's personal journey from depression to finding hope through music fuels our mission. Inspired by the lyric "Back painting these bars instead of painting my arms," Hori Inc. aims to create life rafts for artists, offering spaces where they are seen, heard, and valued. Hip-hop, often misunderstood, is a powerful tool for storytelling, healing, and expression. We fight the stigma, proving that underground rap is not a threat but a source of strength. Run by volunteers, Hori Inc. has thrived on passion, but rising costs threaten our closure. Losing Hori Inc. would silence emerging artists, disconnect youth from culture, and eliminate a vital space of belonging. We fundraise to cover venue hire, high-quality sound gear, artist promotion, and fair pay for local talent. and any support keeps the music alive, lifts our people, and carries our kaupapa forward.
