I Am Rotorua – Trevor Shaw

I Am Rotorua

“Some people look at me and just see a fella with a guitar, but I’m here to give something back. That’s what my music is—just good vibes for anyone who needs it. I don’t do it for money, never have. It’s for the people walking past, the ones who need a moment to smile. That’s why I’m here.”

I’m from Whakatōhea, but I love it here (Rotorua). Some days, it’s just me and the guitar, playing a tune and hoping it reaches someone. Other days, people stop and listen, and that’s all I need.”
