Auckland, New Zealand – April 2026
Written at his home based on real life experiences, the track carries the kind of knowledge that isn’t taught, it’s passed down – protecting the land, respecting it, and understanding your place within it, which is knowledge passed on through generations and to Te Wehi from his grandfather.
The video stays true to that as well. It was shot on his farm – not dressed up or reimagined, just the place he calls home and looks after every day.
Born and raised in Edgecumbe in the Bay of Plenty, Te Wehi (Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Whātua, Te Whakatōhea) has built everything from the ground up. His music reflects real life, and people have connected with that – not because it’s pushed at them, but because it’s honest and relatable. That connection has grown across Aotearoa New Zealand, and increasingly with people further afield who relate to the story and the kaupapa behind it.
I’m Home is the title track from his debut album arriving May 1, and comes as he prepares to head out on his first headline tour across New Zealand.
At its core, the song is simple.
It’s about respecting where you stand – and not losing that, no matter where things take you.
