JGeek and The Geeks

This highly evolved Maori music and comedy group was formed by former C4 television presenter Jermaine Leef in 2010. With tongue firmly in chic, it took the song and dance formula of the boy bands and combined metrosexual fashion, grooming and beauty with traditional Māori culture (and some heavily stylised moko). In 2012, as Jgeeks, they finished fourth in the second series of New Zealand’s Got Talent, with elements of their striking neon costumed performance for the final created in collaboration with multi-media dance group Vospertron.
