Deane Waretini Snr was a famous Maori baritone singer from Rotorua. He was possibly the first Maori singer to be commercially recorded, together with his cousin Ana Hato. His son Deane Waretini would also be a first with his no 1 hit The Bridge, which became the first Maori language song to be no 1 in the New Zealand music charts.

== Background ==
In 1926/27, he and his cousin Hato began recording. During a performance for the Duke and Duchess of York, they were recorded by Parlophone Records technicians from the label’s Australian branch. This was recorded on small portable acoustic equipment. This resulted in the first locally recorded commercial music that was to be released on shellac 78rpm disc format.
Along with his cousin Hato, he was contracted to Parlophone Records. An advertisement from Parlophone in the 1930s showed that they already had two solo releases under his name, as well as four in duet with his cousin.
Waretini died in December 1967.
