Loopy Tunes (Preschool) Music are a sister music duo based in Ōtauthai/Christchurch. Siu Williams-Lemi and Leah Williams-Partington are recognised for their reorua/bilingual Māori and Pasifika children's waiata, sung in their beautifully harmonious style. The sisters had their start in children's music 13 years ago through a weekly preschool music outreach which they helped create. This bilingual programme continues today but has grown six weekly music sessions during the school term. In 2019, the sisters recorded and released their first 13-track children's music album, "Kākāriki: Simply Us" and have released a total of 138 waiata to date; a number have been nominated for music awards both here in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and abroad! Thankfully, they LOVE what they do, so it continues to be a busy but rewarding time for them both! Loopy Tunes (Preschool) Music are a sister music duo based in Ōtauthai/Christchurch.

The loves in my life are my children of six, And we all grow together in a humble home, made of bricks.I live in the beautiful community of Bishopdale, Where you can find me walking, without fail, through sun, rain, snow or hail.I paint every day at my painted wooden table, Looking out the window at all the beautiful birds perched on telephone cables.Painting the songs written and sung by Loopy Tunes, has been a fantastical dream, And with Leah and Siu at the wheel, this is just the beginning for this dynamic, unique, courageous, kiwi, multicultural, bilingual, happy, loving team!
