The Otara Music Arts Centre is where some of the top Pacific and Maori musicians and artists have gone to hone their skills.
On Saturday the Centre opens its doors to the public as it celebrates 30 years of being the cornerstone of creativity for so many.
Sara Vui-Talitu spoke to OMAC programme manager Gene Rivers about their humble beginnings and how it has birthed so many incredible careers.
