Bubbah is the household name, face and voice in NZ as Tina from the Turners Cars commercials (one of New Zealand’s most iconic ad campaigns in recent years).
Tina’s real name is Bubbah. Actually, that’s not entirely accurate.
Her real name is Sieni Tiani Leo’o Olo. But because that is the same name as her grandmother, she was given the family nickname Bubbah as a toddler, and it has stuck.
This is a rare and wide-ranging conversation and Bubbah open’s like never before.
+ We talk about her upbringing in a busy South Auckland household of 17 people. And how roasting is her family’s love language.
+ Why she is turning her back on the spotlight and leaving New Zealand to move to Samoa fulltime.
+ The whole back story about Tina from Turners and how it’s changed her life.
+ Her unlikely friendship formed on Celebrity Treasure Island with Christian Cullen.
+ Why she avoids social media, her views on cancel culture and so much more.
This conversation has a bit of everything. It’s unpredictable, funny, moving, and real. Bubbah- unfiltered and unforgettable.
In 250 episodes I’ve never met anyone like Bubbah! I think she’s awesome. I love her perspective on life, and I hope you do too.
