The singer and actor, who first made a name for himself when he won Australian Idol in 2009, has climbed the charts on both sides of the Tasman and won eight New Zealand Music Awards since. But Walker, whose iwi are Tūhoe and Ngāti Tuwharetoa, said many different people in the industry in Australia - "old heads who come from the old world" - told him he had to change to be on a mainstream platform. "The more Māori I was, the less appealing I was to record sales, to be sold, basically," he told Newstalk ZB's Jack Tame. "I literally was told, 'I think you're being too brown' and 'you're not like them' - I am every part of who 'them' is." Walker said he "got tired" of being someone he wasn't and realised something had to change. "It all just got me to a place of, what the hell am I doing? This is not me. I got here because I'm me, not because of what they want." He said when he came back to New Zealand to be a judge on The X Factor in 2013, that he realised he needed to do for himself what he was encouraging other young artists to do. "I had to come back and find myself again, coming home and spending time with my nannies." Now he's fully embraced who he is, with his new single Bigger/Tua being released in both English and te reo Māori. Walker said the song was a tribute to his tūrangawaewae, with the music video featuring scenes from his marae. Walker said the song was written "for such a time as this". "Considering where the world is at in 2020, for me it's really solidified what my purpose is and who I am and where I'm going." Walker also spoke about his experience with lockdown, saying it was "one of the most incredible things" to ever happen to him. "I got to learn about myself, there was a lot of mending of relationships in my life. "I was forced to be still ... it was the most still I've ever been since I had cancer." Walker had his stomach removed in 2017 after he was diagnosed with cancer. He had a rare mutation of the CDH1 gene that runs in his family, and they had already lost 25 family members to the disease. He took several years out from touring and releasing music but this year he has released Bigger/Tua and a memoir is due out on October 8 titled Impossible: My Story, with HarperCollins New Zealand.Asked how embracing his cultural identity might affect his commercial success, he said "What sells better than the truth?" "I'm unapologetically Māori. When people ask 'Are you a Kiwi, are you an Aussie?' I'm Māori, I live in both countries but I'm Māori." 2020-07-31T22:35:27.000Z Navvy: Making music out of heartbreak https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/saturday-morning-with-jack-tame/video/navvy-making-music-out-of-heartbreak/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/saturday-morning-with-jack-tame/video/navvy-making-music-out-of-heartbreak/ Watch out Benee, there’s another Kiwi musician taking the US by storm.  Earlier this month, Billboard said with Benee's Supalonely becoming a Top 40 hit, "fellow New Zealand native Navvy should be infiltrating the States just as rapidly with songs like “Pieces.” That's the electro-pop artist's latest release, with EP ‘No Hard Feelings’ coming out earlier in this year. Navvy has been in the studio with Jack Tame for a song and a chat. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE      2020-06-26T22:19:35.000Z Tami Neilson performs live in studio https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/saturday-morning-with-jack-tame/video/tami-neilson-performs-live-in-studio/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/saturday-morning-with-jack-tame/video/tami-neilson-performs-live-in-studio/ Fresh from performing in Nashville, and with some new music under her belt, Tami Neilson is about to embark on a new tour of New Zealand.

Walker is heading on the 12-date New Takeover tour, which will see him perform across New Zealand's main centres over October and November. The New Takeover tour will be Walker's first in five years. A 2016 tour was cancelled after his mother was diagnosed with cancer, and in 2017, Walker received his own diagnosis. Walker told Jack Tame he had to have his stomach removed. "Last year I found out I had stomach cancer so I got my stomach out and other things out, a few organs, I'm kind of just a heart and bones now," he said. He almost lost his life from the cancer, which was caused by a rare CDH1 hereditary mutation that runs in his family."Me and my mum have the gene [...] basically it's a stomach cancer gene which also can be spread to the breast or even the bowels. So yeah, it's not a good gene to have, not like, you know, 'I've got the gene for being tall or the gene for singing'." Walker has known he had the gene since he was a young teenager but only found cancer in the latest test. "I've had a few more check-ups than, probably, most of my family just because I have had different problems, but yeah, in this last one, they found cancer in my stomach. It all happened really quickly." His mother was the person to break the news to him. "She just said 'oh son', well she didn't just say 'oh'. She actually rang me twice, the first time she was like, 'they think they've found cancer but they don't know yet, they're going to get back to me' and I was just like, 'well then tell me when they do' [...] and then she called up an hour later and goes, 'yeah, they have found cancer'," Walker said. He said he wasn't scared when he found out he had cancer and instead it motivated him to make things happen.
