What's a Siren King?

Siren Kings are super cool groups of friends, mostly from places with lots of Pacific Islander people, who love making loud music! They take big speakers, like the ones you hear on a police car or at a concert, and put them on their cars or bikes. Then, they have contests to see who can make the loudest and clearest sounds. It's all about having fun and showing off their awesome sound systems!

Where Did This Cool Idea Start?

This whole Siren King thing started in a place called Māngere, which is in South Auckland, New Zealand. It's like the birthplace of this awesome music scene! Other places in Auckland, like Te Atatū Peninsula, are also really into it.

Sometimes, this fun music even travels to other cities like Wellington. It’s a way for young people to express themselves and connect with their friends through music.

How Do They Make That Amazing Sound?

The Siren Kings get their powerful speakers from places like schools or areas that need to warn people about danger, like tsunami zones. They attach these speakers to cars or even bicycles! Then, they play special music called 'siren beats'. This music is often inspired by reggae and has a really strong, clear sound that’s perfect for making a big noise. It’s like a car party on wheels!

A Song That Went SUPER VIRAL!

One of the most famous siren beats was made by a high school student named Jawsh 685. His song, 'Laxed (Siren Beat)', became super popular on a app called TikTok. It got so popular that a famous singer named Jason Derulo used it in his song, 'Savage Love'. This shows how cool and catchy the siren beat music is, and how it can become a worldwide hit!
