“HAWAIKI” is one of the most meaningful pieces of my life and career. This song and music video honor my late mother and her Samoan roots, connecting me to Polynesia’s spiritual realm. My sister Teuila and I are featured, along with the incredible fire knife dancer Hoku Matalasi.

This vision has been years in the making, and it represents the biggest and most important artistic presentation of my journey so far. Dedicated to my Samoan mama, HAWAIKI is both a tribute and an invitation to experience Polynesia through music, dance, and spirit.
