Beau’s beatsMeet the man behind the loop

He’s a real chilled-out dude who just goes with the fl ow. He greets me not

with a hello, but a “Chur, how are you?” Beau Monga is everyone’s bro.

He was the “middle dude” at school, friends with everyone. Now, the 21-year-old Tauranga musician, a Ngati Ranginui iwi descendant, has more friends than he can count on his fi ngers. It’s because he’s Beau Monga, The X Factor New Zealand winner for 2015.

From busking on the streets of Manurewa, Hamilton and Auckland, the multi-talented beat-boxer, dancer and vocalist is the newest Stan Walker, but with a twist. He’s got style, swagger and sass – all in good doses.

Beau turned heads after winning ‘The X Factor’ with his distinctive looping beats. But it was no “biggy” to Beau. Nope, he was just doing what he likes doing.

“I was just going with it. I wasn’t really thinking about it in the show, I thought: ‘If get eliminated I do; if I don’t, I don’t’.

“But now that it’s actually happened, it’s made me realise I did really want this. I’m really happy I’m here. I’ve got my foot in the door and I can go for it if I want now.”

He’s not into the trades, nor sitting behind a desk for a living. Music is where he wants to be.

“I feel free as because I’m doing something I like,” says Beau, who was plucked from ‘The X Factor’ show and dropped straight into the music scene after fi nding his talent merely two years ago.

“It wasn’t until I fi nished high school and got my looper that I actually started to realise I wanted to do music,” says Beau.

The ‘looper’ he’s referring to is a loop pedal that allows him to create electroacoustic sounds by repeating a section of sound and patterns.

“I just wanted to make my own stuff and I knew no-one else was doing it here in New Zealand and I was already beatboxing, so I just wanted to try it out,” says Beau.

He had an inkling he’d make it to the big time with his new-found multi-talent, but he didn’t know it would be only a year until he saw his face on the cover of a self-titled debut album.

“I didn’t think it would be this quick,” says Beau. “I just thought if I do it on my own, it would take at least fi ve years. I thought I was going to play basketball to be honest.”

He was pretty good at it too, basketball that is. Beau was selected into the New Zealand Korus basketball team at age 13. “We played hard-out back then until I was about 16,” says Beau.

‘Hard out’ is Kiwi slang for totally applying yourself to something.

Beau’s advice to teenagers with a dream of pursuing a career in music is: “Whatever they like doing, stick with that and just go hard”. That means go for it.

Ewa FennAt home with...

Good things come in small packages – and at a petite 4ft-something, Ewa Fenn is clearly one of the good ones.

She’s the woman who’s played a pivotal role in helping new migrants to the Bay of Plenty for more than 10 years. And this month, Ewa became the 2015 recipient of the annual Recognition for Services to Migrants award.

But who is Ewa Fenn? Where does she come from and what is her culture?

Ewa was born in Poland, a country known for its medieval architecture, Jewish heritage and hearty cuisine.

For most of her early life, Ewa studied and worked in Krakow, one of Poland’s oldest cities. There, she earned a degree in biology and worked in the department of comparative anatomy at the university.

“The research I was doing later on was based on ecology. Part of that work, I completed an expedition to Antarctica to collect white blooded fi sh, which was at that stage very new and was just recently discovered.”

Today, she’s a mother of three, has been married twice and went yachting and

caving in her heyday. “That was all of the time before I left Poland,” says Ewa.

She migrated to NZ in 1982 at age 30-something, fi rst to Christchurch before settling in Tauranga later on.

Here, Ewa loves to walk. “My latest achievement was the Tongariro Alpine Crossing last year,” says Ewa.

There’s something very special about Ewa and her home. We feel welcome here, beliefs and all. Admittedly, Ewa never wanted the role as president of the Tauranga regional Ethnic Council in 2007 after becoming a member just three years prior. She thought she’d be in way over her head. But, it seems Ewa was the perfect woman for the job.

Multicultural meetings began around her kitchen table, before Creative Tauranga offered a space in their then offi ces at No. 1 The Strand. Introducing monthly Living in Harmony evenings to showcase and get to know the various cultures of people who live in Tauranga

“I believe we are people

of the world”

Zoe Hunter

The woman caring for the city’s cultures

was next on Ewa’s agenda.When Creative Tauranga moved

offi ces, Ewa was faced with the challenge of fi nding a new home for the group.

So she went straight to the city’s top man, the mayor. A space for

rent at the Historic Village was offered, but Ewa turned up her nose at fi rst.

“I imagined the migrant centre being in town, so newcomers could actually see us when they’re out there looking for us.”

But, because “everything else was too expensive” they eventually took the room. “The rest is history,” says Ewa.

“I’ve always wanted a migrant centre for the city, a place where people can meet us.”

The show must go onPutting her best breast forward“I love the show

and fi nd it so inspiring and energising”

Robyn is ensuring she relishes the occasion and she’s not holding back. For one of her appearances she goes bra-less under a simple slip below an amazing hat.

When Robyn, a health conscious 53-year-old, was diagnosed with breast cancer in July, the advice was to have surgery immediately. There were two areas of concern, which meant a mastectomy was the necessary surgical solution.

Instead of simply going along with a medical directive given fairly fi rmly on the telephone, Robyn stopped and took stock.

“I felt I did not have enough information to make a decision, and it took real effort on my part to fi nd out what I needed to know.”

Robyn also had other reasons. As a qualifi ed naturopath, with her own natural health business, having to enter the mainstream medical system and be at the mercy of it, highly skilled though the surgeons are, was a challenge – though having natural health practitioners work more closely with the medical profession to help people heal has always been a goal of Robin’s.

Her role in Tarnished Frocks and Divas was also a consideration. “I love the show and fi nd it so inspiring and energising I did not want to miss it. It probably sounded crazy to the surgeon to be told that participation in a show was more important than immediate surgery, but I genuinely felt this was important to

my overall wellbeing as I prepared to lose a breast.”

Robyn’s naturopathy experience and the intuitive knowledge of her own body gained over a lifetime as a type one diabetes sufferer came into play.

“I knew I was undertaking a new journey here and I wanted to ensure it was a considered path not a quick reaction I might live to regret.”

She did her research and took advice from colleagues and lateral thinkers in the health profession. This made her feel safe and strong in the decisions she made, and in conveying them to others. “My friends and family were fantastically supportive,” she says.

She also wanted to prepare her body for the ‘onslaught’ having discovered, in her research, solid evidence that enhancing your health before an operation can aid recovery and reduce likelihood of recurrence.

“I have been ridding my body of toxins with organic food and lots of healthy juices. The Tauranga Farmers’ Market is a great source of natural food.”

The experience of performing in Tarnished Frocks and Divas has been a fantastic antidote to concerns about her health.

“I have adored every minute of it and met amazing women who have supported me in my decisions and thrown themselves into this shared experience of the show.”

When Robyn Speed walks the Tarnished Frocks and Divas catwalk on Saturday it will be one of the last outings for her left breast.

This is Robyn’s second appearance as a model in the biennial ‘theatre of the catwalk’. She was drawn into the show by her old friend Robyne Dowdall, who is its Creative Director of Design. She arrived on the Dowdall doorstep one day feeling pretty low.

“My daughter Tammy had just left home for university and my cat had been run over. While I was receiving empathy from Robyne she had a call from the show’s producer, Denny Spee. I heard her say, ‘I have a model here for you. I will tell her to audition.’

“Despite nearly falling over in the fi rst rehearsals I trusted the process. I’ve been hooked on the show ever since and it certainly allayed any empty nest feeling,” she adds.

Robyn’s son Matt, now 23, lives in Australia, where, among other things, he is a hypnotist; and 20-year-old Tammy is studying textiles and weaving in Wellington.

Robyn freely acknowledges the dichotomy of being a naturopath with breast cancer. “It initially shocked me that my ‘self-aware’ body should let me down like this,” admits Robyn, despite her knowledge that nature takes no prisoners.

Robyn qualifi ed as a naturopath in 2004 after working as a beauty therapist and, for complete contrast, a stint on the prawn boats in Australia.

Her clinic is the front room of her cottage which pays homage to retro. “When I bought most of it, it was considered junk!” she laughs of décor, which acts as the perfect backdrop for the Tarnished Frocks and Divas-style ethos.

As soon as the show is over she will book in for surgery, body prepared, spirits uplifted by participation in the performance and with full intention that life and business will continue with even more enthusiasm.

“I feel confi dent and powerful,” she says of her future and her part in deciding it. Liz French

“I’m a bunch of nerves

beforehand. You just can’t

prepare yourself for something

like that”

Queen of savouryHayley’s MasterChef dream continues

“I’ve been cooking since I could sit on a stool at grandma’s kitchen bench, and stir and lick a spoon,” says the 31-year-old ‘MasterChef New Zealand’ contestant from Papamoa.

“My sisters and I used to pretend to be waitresses on homemade fish and chip night every Friday.”

Balancing a plate on her forearm like a true professional, Hayley would serve Mum and Dad a plateful of her favourite treat, deep fried mushrooms.

“It used to be my favourite as an entrée, and I’d serve them round and thought I was pretty cool,” says Hayley.

For desert: lemon sago – an elaborate dish for a seven-year-old. But the plates would come back licked clean, not a crumb in sight.

“It was probably the first desert I ever made,” says Hayley. “I used to make it with my nana.

“She was definitely the one who used to go out of the box and make things like avocado ice-cream and random stuff that pushes boundaries. I definitely get those risks from her.”

However, it’s clear from the dishes she’s served in front of the nation that Hayley has definitely got a taste for savoury over sweet.

After all, Hayley made it through the first round with her favourite savoury dish: chilli and lemongrass risotto and baked snapper.

“I don’t really eat sweet things,” says Hayley. “Cooking sweet things is a bit of a nightmare. Hence why one of my last dishes didn’t turn out.”

She’s talking about the dish in episode nine, when

the Papamoa cook made the bottom two for the first time.

Starting off with a blind tasting of flavours with contrasting textures, the episode saw contestants’ tastebuds put to the test.

Contestants then had to cook what was Hayley’s best and worst nightmare come true: one savoury dish and one sweet dish, showcasing different textures.

Her sweet dish was meant to be an orange chocolate tart, but ended up as crumbs on a plate with dollops of chocolate mousse and cream.

“It was an epic fail, it literally looked like poos on a plate,” says Hayley. “It just didn’t set, it never doesn’t set.”

So, it was thank goodness for savoury. Hayley’s comeback dish, chicken and tofu dumplings with miso eggplant puree and master stock, earned her a place in the next round and after Monday’s episode she’s now officially in the show’s top five.

Hayley’s next goal? Winning ‘MasterChef New Zealand 2015’. So she’s crossing her fingers for no more desert disasters.

“I’m hoping to take it out. I’m hoping to be the next Rachel Ray of New Zealand and I can’t do that without winning,” laughs Hayley.

Just like her favourite lookalike chef Rachel, Hayley is a whiz in the kitchen – and she’s got the bubbly, quirky and fun personality to match.

“I’ve always wanted to have my own TV show like Rachel Ray. I want to take the Ellen DeGeneres slot,

Hayley Marie Bilton was just seven-years-old when she served her first meal to her family. Standing on her tip-toes, the budding chef could barely see over the kitchen benchtop.

“But as soon as I start cooking, everything for some reason comes

to me and I’ve got it sorted”

bring on Haylee Marie!“I think there’s a market for it. I think it

just goes to show through ‘MasterChef ’ that I can handle it. It’s given me the confi dence to be able to push that.”

Hayley’s a self-confessed fi recracker in her work life, but quite the opposite in the kitchen.

“Throughout my normal life, at work I’m so fast and I’ve got to get everything done,” she explains.

“In the kitchen, that’s when a glass of wine comes out and I’m totally relaxed and I become a new person.

“That’s my down time. That’s how I show people how I love them.”

On the telly, and minus the wine, Hayley admits she’d be lying if she didn’t say she gets nervous.

“I’m a bunch of nerves beforehand. You just can’t prepare yourself for something like that, especially when you don’t know what the challenge is.

“But as soon as I start cooking, everything for some reason comes to me and I’ve got it sorted.”

She’s got it sorted alright and she’s not ready to take her apron off just yet. As well as Ellen DeGeneres’ primetime spot, Hayley’s got her eye on the prize.

“Winning ‘MasterChef ‘will mean I can fi nally prove to myself that I have the confi dence. It will mean the start of my cooking journey.”

To see more of Hayley’s sweet and savoury servings, she’ll be sizzling up on TV3, Sundays and Mondays. Zoe Hunter
