DANCING FOR LIFE EDUCATION

Formed over a decade ago HALO have performed internationally and throughout New Zealand for a variety of corporate and private events. This 6 piece band never fails to get people up out of their seats and on to the dance floor.

HALO features some of the best entertainers in NZ including:
Michael Murphy - lead vocals.
Michael hails from Taupō. Since finishing runner-up in the inaugural series of New Zealand Idol, Michael signed to BMG records. Michael has spent the last few years working as a session singer after working overseas for a number of years with his band. He also has performed nationally for corporate audiences and at events such as Coca Cola Christmas in the Park.
Sebastian Lloyd - lead guitar and vocals
Also hailing from the Central Plateau, Sebastian has spent the past 20 years working as lead guitarist alongside many of our top performers as a live musician. He has also toured internationally with bands from both Canada and Australia.

I'm a 17 year old student, currently attending Trident High School. I found my passion for performing in 2018, when I first took to the stage in Trident's production of 'Dreamgirls'. Since then you may have seen me in Theatre Whakatane's 'Mamma Mia!' and most recently Trident's production 'Grease'. I have also performed at a number of events in the Whakatane area either as a solo musician or as part of a group. As a performer I am always wanting to get out there more, so I am thankful to have been given the opportunity to be involved in Dancing for Life Education 2020.
