About Ardijah

Ryan Monga (a.k.a Captain Fonk) grew up in the deep south of Auckland (The Big-O, Otara) New Zealand, with a melting pot of Pacific peoples, and was exposed to a rich blend of both traditional Cook Island/Tahitian music and the sounds of international funk bands. Meanwhile, Betty-Anne's musical influences consisted of great Jazz/Blues singers Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Australia's Renee Geyer.
