Leonard Paul (aka Lenz) was moved to write and perform this 'family rap' following his participation as a dad who participated in Hoki ki te Rito.

Leonard was born in Thames 1982 and raised in Kerepehi. He moved to Mangere, South Auckland in 1985 and did most of his schooling there. Just after leaving school he got into writing his own lyrics, drumming on anything but a drum just to get a beat or an idea. He used to hum to himself just to feel a rhythm. When he discovered that you could make beats using your mouth he then started beatboxing.
Music is his life.
