== Early life and the Deceptikonz ==
Savage grew up in [[Samoa]] and [[South Auckland]], New Zealand, raised by his mother and siblings.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bennett |first1=Cath |title=Savage – I want to be dad I never had |url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/sunday-news/entertainment/2928790/Savage-I-want-to-be-dad-I-never-had |website=Stuff.co.nz |access-date=27 September 2020 |language=en |date=10 October 2009}}</ref>

Savage joined with friends to form a hip-hop group, the Deceptikonz, in 1997. Success was not instant, however, as the group struggled through several talent shows and small concerts. Their big break came in 1999 when they were signed to South Auckland (Papatoetoe) hip hop label [[Dawn Raid Entertainment]].

In 2002, the Deceptikonz released ''Elimination''; a studio album that peaked at number four on the New Zealand albums chart.<ref>[https://charts.nz/showitem.asp?interpret=Deceptikonz&titel=Elimination&cat=a Elimination – charts.org.nz]</ref> In late 2003, Savage featured as a member of the Deceptikonz on the [[Mareko]] hit single ''[[Stop, Drop and Roll (song)|Stop, Drop and Roll]]''; a number six hit on the New Zealand singles chart.<ref>[https://charts.nz/showitem.asp?interpret=Mareko+feat%2E+Deceptikonz&titel=Stop+Drop+%26+Roll&cat=s Stop, Drop and Roll – charts.org.nz]</ref>

== Solo career ==
=== ''Moonshine'' era (2005–2007) ===
Savage's first solo single; ''Swing'', was released in January 2005. The hit would eventually crack the Australian singles chart in 2014 and peak at number one for five weeks in the New Zealand singles chart. Three months later, Savage released his debut solo album ''Moonshine'' which reached number two in the New Zealand album chart and included a title track as a follow-up single. This became an even bigger success than the previous single; spending seven weeks at number one on the New Zealand singles chart, and reaching the top ten in the Australian singles chart. The ''Moonshine'' single would eventually become certified twice platinum in New Zealand and gold in Australia.<ref name="goldditch">{{cite web|url=http://www.amplifier.co.nz/news/19745/savages-moonshine-single-goes-gold-across-the-ditch.html|title= Savage's Moonshine single goes Gold across the ditch|work=amplifier|access-date=25 January 2014}}</ref> The third single from the album; ''They Don't Know'' reached number three in the New Zealand singles chart and was also a hit for several weeks on the Australian singles chart. In 2007, ''Swing'' featured in a club scene for the United States film ''[[Knocked Up]]'' and was also included on the movie soundtrack album.<ref>[http://www.soundtrackinfo.com/title/knockedup.asp Knocked Up – soundtrack.info.com]</ref>

=== ''Savage Island'' era (2008–2009) ===
Following the success of appearing in "Knocked Up", ''Swing'' was released as a single for the United States in 2008, and remix versions were made with American rappers [[Soulja Boy Tell 'Em]] and [[Pitbull (rapper)|Pitbull]]. Upon re-release, ''Swing'' reached number forty-five on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], re-entered the New Zealand singles charts peaking at number twenty-three. By the end of January 2009, the song had sold over 1.5 million units in the United States alone. Because of this; ''Swing'' was certified as a platinum single in the United States.<ref name="2016Pacific" />

In February 2009, Savage released ''Savage Island'', the second studio album of his solo career. The release became his second consecutive top-ten entry on the New Zealand album chart debuting at number nine. The album included ''Moonshine'' from the previous album as well as a remix version of the New Zealand number-one hit ''Not Many''. The release also featured two new singles ''Wild Out (Chooo Hooo)'' and ''Hot Like Fire''. These songs became New Zealand singles chart hits with the former becoming Savage's fourth top-ten peaking song in the national chart. Savage appeared in an issue of [[The Source (magazine)|Source Magazine]] to discuss the lyrical meanings behind the tracks of ''Savage Island'' the following month.
