Ngatai, The Koi Boys made their charismatic first appearance on The Voice Australia. The first ever trio to perform on the show, their energy,
character, enthusiasm and genre-spanning talent made them a hit among fans, both locally and most recently across the Tasman. Knocked out
before the finals, the band’s eviction caused outrage on social media and had Jessie J fielding interviews surrounding her decision to send them
home.

Their passionate fans stayed with them, following their live shows and online recorded performances. One of their videos on YouTube, a cover of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” has racked up over a million views.
