ZENTARGE release velvety new single, ‘Life of a Mischief’
After more than a decade of live performance, refining their sound and connecting with audiences across Aotearoa, Hamilton-based sibling duo ZENTARGE return with their latest single, “Life of a Mischief,” out today.
Brothers Zenith and Targe Tawhara-Crown (ZENTARGE) have built their journey from the ground up - shaped by years of street busking from a young age, live performances, strong whānau support, and a commitment to creating music that is both honest and relatable. Now balancing university life with a growing music career, the duo continue to build momentum with each release.
Blending contemporary R&B and reggae with a strong dancehall influence, “Life of a Mischief” delivers a playful, late-night energy grounded in real-life experience.
Centred around the idea of being a “mischief,” the track explores a carefree, slightly rebellious mindset where connection, impulse, and atmosphere take over. The lyrics are shaped by the duo’s university lifestyle and the social environments that come with it, giving the song an authentic and relatable edge.
Following their previous release “Tall Poppy,” the single continues to showcase ZENTARGE’s versatility, moving between reflective storytelling and more expressive, feel-good energy.
ZENTARGE are an Aotearoa-based sibling duo made up of brothers Zenith and Targe Tawhara-Crown. With over a decade of live performance experience, the pair have built their journey from the ground up, from street busking at a young age to performing across the North Island.
Now postgraduate students at the University of Waikato, ZENTARGE are entering a new phase as recording artists, translating their experience as live entertainers into a sound that connects both nationally and globally. Their music blends R&B, soul, and contemporary influences with honest, relatable storytelling, grounded in strong cultural and personal foundations.
With momentum building, the duo are currently working toward a larger body of work set for release in 2026.
