HINA
HINA is the creative mantle of Tāmaki Makaurau-based songwriter Amy Boroevich (Te Rarawa, Ngāti Raukawa), whose name she shares with a goddess of the moon known across Polynesia. With a sound described by Remix Magazine as “genre-fluid”, HINA weaves threads of folk, rock, soul, and reo Māori into compositions that are as haunting as they are healing.
Following the independent release of her two projects Muse and Omen, HINA has emerged as one of New Zealand’s most captivating new voices. Happy Mag lauded her debut for its “soulful mastery,”calling her ability to “channel emotion with impressive grace” a hallmark of her sound. Rolling Stone dubbed Omen“a masterclass in emotional world-building,” and described her single Hinātore as“transcendent”, a song “brimming with ancestral resonance.”
HINA’s singles Libertine and Tararua charted on the SRN Top 10 and NZ Hot 20 Singles respectively, and in 2024, her song Dangerous found an international audience with a sync on the legacy Australian series Home & Away. From features in Remix Magazine, HypeMedium, and Newzician, to live radio sessions on RNZ and bFM, HINA’s work continues to connect with a growing audience.
