He was named after Rewi Maniapoto, a Māori chief famous for his resistance to the British military during the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s. Alley's father was a teacher, and Rewi attended primary school at Amberley; then Wharenui School in Christchurch, where his father was appointed headmaster in 1905; and finally Christchurch Boys' High School. His mother, Clara, was a leader of the New Zealand women's suffrage movement.

As Long as U Know
by: RLUh, as long as you know
I worship the rain that falls on the grass that you walk on
and the sun that shines on it to help it grow
so no matter where you are or whatever it is that you go through
there's one thing that I think you oughta know
(CHORUS)
No matter how far apart
girl you always have my heart
I don't care where you go
as long as you know
