Dallas Tamaira, occasionally known by the alias Joe Dukie (Ngāti Tūwharetoa; born 26 February 1974),[1] is a New Zealand singer-songwriter and musician, best known for being the vocalist for the urban pasifika and dub group Fat Freddy's Drop.

[3] Tamaira was born in Christchurch in 1974 to a mixed Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Pākehā family, and grew up in Kaikōura.

Upon leaving secondary school, Tamaira joined the Auckland performing arts collective Pacific Underground, before moving to Wellington in the early 1990s.

He made the comic strip on the cover and sleeve of Fat Freddy's Drop's EP Hope for a Generation (2004).

Tamaira's alternative stage name is inspired from his father Joe, also a singer, and his grandfather, a musician nicknamed Dukie after Duke Ellington.
