International reggae star Spawnbreezie says he has something to prove to Rotorua when he performs tonight in the city.

He is currently touring New Zealand and will perform in Rotorua tonight at Heaven and Hell nightclub. Tomorrow he'll be at Brewer's Park at Mt Maunganui.

Spawnbreezie told the Rotorua Daily Post the last time he performed here, which was at the Raggamuffin Roadshow, he was losing his voice and was only able to perform three songs.

Tonight, he plans to make up for it.

"I've been looking forward to coming back to Rotorua," Spawnbreezie said.

"The last time I was there I lost my voice ... three songs ... I got off stage and I cried, I cried because Rotorua all came out to support. I left them unsatisfied. I'm really looking forward to making up for it."

He said he'd definitely pay a visit to his favourite fish and chip shop Oppies.

The tour has been a success with all shows sold out. He said his best venue so far was tied between Auckland and Porirua because the "crowd was crazy", singing along to his songs and having a good time.

"It's high energy from beginning to end, there's no climax because you reach top when you get on stage."

He was expecting similar experiences in Rotorua and Mt Maunganui.

He said touring with Kiwi artists such as Swiss, Chad Chambers, Sammy J and Ria had been a lot of fun.

Tickets to the Rotorua show were available at Vegas Surf Skate Snow and online at www.dashtickets.co.nz.Limited door sales would be available for $35.

Meanwhile, when the New Zealand tour was over, Spawnbreezie said he had a lot to make up for with his family.

While on tour, not only did he miss his daughter Lina's third birthday, he also missed his son Anapogi's first birthday.
