The New Zealand Music Awards, colloquially known as the Tuis, have been awarded yearly since 1965 to outstanding New Zealand musicians and groups.
The awards are presented by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) at an invitation-only function held each year.

History
The first awards for recorded music were given in 1965. The concept was co-founded by the New Zealand Broadcasting Service (NZBS) and soap manufacturer Reckitt & Colman. Initially a single award was given for the best album. These early awards were known as 'The Loxene Gold Disc'.
Additional categories were gradually added, with an award for producer being first given in 1969.
The Loxene awards continued until 1972 when the NZFPI decided to institute its own system; these awards became known as RATAs - an acronym for Recording Arts Talent Awards. From 1978 the awards became known as the RIANZ Awards after the NZFPI changed its name to the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand. In 1999 the name of the awards was changed again, becoming the New Zealand Music Awards – affectionately known as ‘The Tuis’ after the trophy that was presented to winners.
