The US singer was greeted with a haka by local iwi before the final show of his American Teen world tour at Auckland’s Spark Arena.

US singer Khalid was in awe of a haka and powhiri performed for him ahead of his Auckland concert last night.

Just hours before taking to the stage at Auckland's Spark Arena Khalid was welcomed with a powhiri preformed by local iwi.

"Giving me a piece of your culture and making me feel at home is amazing to me," said the 19-year-old singer-songwriter.

"This was beautiful, I've never seen anything like it."

Last night's Auckland show was the final stop on the Khalid's American Teen world tour. 

It was a special show for the singer, whose single Young, Dumb & Broke, from his debut album - produced by Kiwi Joel Little - went number one first in New Zealand.
