Nate Hamon e hanga puoro ana me Mayan Fox: “Exotic Pop” mai i Ahitereiria, i hangaia i te taha o Nate me tana wahine a Maria. Ko tana “Mighty Wonders” kua oti kē te whakaatu i aku kōwhiringa LAWNgevity. Te haurongo o te pēne, i ā rātou ake kupu:

Ko Mayan Fox ngā rārangi pekepeke, ngā oro mau tino pai, ngā oro whakakotahi momona me ngā kupu witty.

E noho ana i Ahitereiria me ngā awe ahurea e whakawhiti ana i te ao, kua whakaahuatia te reka o te puoro a Mayan Fox he “spicy” me te “zesty”. Hei karo i te kōrero tawhito, te whakaahua whai kanohi hurihuri i tō rātou oro he “every genre rolled into one” ka whakaahua noa te pēne i ā rātou puoro he ‘Exotic Pop’. I whakaahua a Chito Miranda o te rongo ‘Parokya Ni Edgar’ i te oro a Mayan Fox he mea e “…hanga piriti ana i waenga i ngā ahurea me ngā momo”.

Kua hāereere a Mayan Fox i te ao e tohatoha ana i ā rātou puoro. He ngākau nui tō rātou mō tētahi kaupapa i tua atu i te whakatairanga i a rātou anō. I penapena, i kohi pūtea hoki te pēne ki te hāere mai i Ahitereiria ki Kānata me te kaupapa ki te purei i tētahi whakaaturanga oro mārū mō tētahi pātiro taitamariki e noho ana i te tiaki whakamauru, he wiki noa i mua i tōna wehenga atu i tēnei ao. I hāere rātou ki Tacloban i ngā Philippines ki te purei i tētahi whakaaturanga kore utu mō ngā pātiro i pakaru ō rātou kāinga me ō rātou oranga i Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). Kua tohatoha rātou i ā rātou puoro i te ingoa o ngā kaupapa aroha maha, ā, e whakapono ana rātou ka taea e te puoro te whai awe kaha ki ngā wairua me ngā hinengaro o te kaiwhakarongo.

I hangaia a Mayan Fox i te taha o te rōpū tito waiata tāne me te wahine a Nate & Maria Hamon (Kaiwaiata, Uke, Keys). Tāpirihia a Shannon Beaumont (Kitā) te Tai Shan Fox e mau kanohi huna ana (Pāoro) a Dwaine Woolley (Pahū, ina kei te motu ia) me te rōpū waiata a Luana Ross, Peyshance Clayton me Phoenix Hamon, ā, kei a koe te rārangi katoa.
