Sole Mio (stylised as SOLΞ MIO) is a New Zealand musical trio consisting of brothers Pene Pati and Amitai Pati and their cousin Moses Mackay. Of Samoan descent and classically trained, the Pati brothers are operatic tenors and Mackay is a baritone.
The group's self-titled debut album, featuring an operatic take on a range of traditional and popular songs, was the biggest selling album in New Zealand in 2013, and the second biggest selling album of 2014.
In 2015 the group released a cover of Ed Sheeran's The Hobbit soundtrack song "I See Fire" in support of New Zealand's participation in the 2015 Rugby World Cup. The group's second album, On Another Note, was released in October 2015.
In October 2015 they were named Top Group of the Year by the Variety Artists Club of New Zealand.
Pene and Amitai Pati both attended Aorere College in Auckland and studied music at the University of Auckland.
Pene Pati is engaged to Egyptian-born singer Amina Edris after proposing to her on stage at Christmas in the Vines in December 2014.
