Tiki Taane performed at a family friendly concert toningt at First Steps Papamoa, his son's daycare centre, to raise money for the Starship Foundation.
The event preludes the beginning of Taane's nationwide tour starting on Thursday night at Imbibe bar, Mount Maunganui.
Taane said the children's concert idea came from the manager of First Steps who approached him about a concert after his performance at a Christmas Little Big Markets.
