Nicholas Epae. Jay Epae (7 March 7, 1933 - 25 July, 1994), was a Māori/Hawaiian pop singer from Manaia, Taranaki, New Zealand. He moved to the United States in 1957 to pursue a boxing career, but an injury efficiently put an end to that. Instead, he became a song writer and singer. His albums were released on the American Mercury label until 1962, when he switched to American Capitol. In 1966, he switched to New Zealand's Viking Records. His single Putti Putti (the B side of 'Hawaiian Melody, a song written by him and American-Swedish ) was a hit in Sweden, Norway and Finland after local pirate radio station Radio Nord* picked it up, and he toured there soon after its release.
