Bella Allan-Moetaua is a classical mezzo-soprano currently undertaking a Bachelor of Arts in Education alongside a Bachelor of Music in Classical Voice at the University of Auckland. She grew up in South Auckland surrounded by the vibrant cultures of Māori and the Pacific, where music, language, and identity were deeply woven into community life. This upbringing continues to shape her artistic voice and sense of purpose as a performer.

A dedicated and versatile musician, Bella has sustained a lifelong commitment to both choral and solo performance. She was a member of the New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir from 2022 to 2023 and has performed internationally with the Toronto Children’s Chorus in 2014 and 2019. During her time at Westlake Girls High School, she was selected for both the Girls’ Premier Choir and Mixed Premier Choir, ensembles recognised for their excellence and musical rigour. She continues to perform as a member of the Auckland Chamber Choir.

As a soloist, Bella is a confident and expressive performer, having appeared with the Hamilton Civic Choir and the New Zealand Children’s Choral Academy. In 2025, she was awarded First Place in the Under 21 category at the Rotorua New Zealand Aria Competition.

Bella is deeply committed to the creation and performance of music that uplifts and celebrates Māori and Polynesian traditions. Grounded in her cultural identity, she aims to contribute meaningfully to both choral and solo repertoire, bringing authenticity, integrity, and a clear artistic vision to her work.
