Joshua Christian Nanai (born 5 November 2002), better known as Jawsh 685, is a New Zealand beat maker and music producer. While a student at Manurewa High School, in South Auckland, New Zealand, he made his breakthrough with the 2020 siren jam single "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)" in collaboration with American R&B singer Jason Derulo. BTS made a remix to the song which reached number one in over 15 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Early life and career

Nanai was born and raised in South Auckland, and currently lives in Manurewa. He is of mixed Pacific Islander descent: half-Samoan and half-Cook Islander. The "685" in his stage name refers to the calling code for Samoa. He became the first Pasifika and the third New Zealander ever to top the UK Singles Chart.
