What People Are Saying About KIINO
“Kiino Krystal has a unique ability to bring alive any event or kaupapa. Her energy and vibe is highly contagious and she knows how to get a crowd engaged. As an event manager, I know how important it is to have quality emcees. This is why Kiino Krystal is always first to mind when hosting events. She is professional, easy to work with, punctual and takes the time to understand your needs and kaupapa. I highly recommend!”
— Theresa Carter Director | Angel Promotions Ltd
“I have worked alongside Krystal for over a decade and witnessed her develop a high skill set in presenting and hosting Emceeing events. These vary from music concerts, youth focused, community fundraisers, kapa haka and sporting, and formal events where Krystal showed her competency on the mic and any setting. She has a genuine love for helping people, I believe it's kaupapa that is close to her heart. This shows in the rapour she has on stage and very well spoken but, her point of difference is her ability to speak a high level of te reo māori and weave this throughout her delivery making it attainable for non speakers of te reo māori to understand. Krystal is a great communicator at events and will always keep the kaupapa at the front of her korero. I would highly recommend her as trustworthy and competent.”
— Tipene Harmer | Aotearoa Hip-Hop Artist
“As a fellow artist, producer and audience member, Crystal is always a joy to watch and work with. Her relatable nature is warm and generous, and she is always fully committed to anything she undertakes. Through our projects at SOUNZ Centre for New Zealand Music, Crystal emceed a Te Reo Māori ice-breaker and facilitated a Work-Life-Balance conversation with our participants at our Hui Wāhine Wānanga. More recently, Crystal interviewed a high calibre of respected contributors and tohunga of te Reo Māori about Möteatea. Given the depth of this kaupapa, Crystal was able to discuss their perspectives in a way that was interesting and seamless which is a testament to her skills as a broadcaster and personality. Crystal is an utmost professional.”
