Featured Artists

Sierra Lucia

Sierra Lucia is a Hawai‘i-based artist that describes her style as “a gentle mix of Soul, R&B and a little sprinkle of indie rock,” inspired by artists like Sabrina Claudio, BANKS, Lauryn Hill, Kings of Leon, RY X and rum.gold.

“Music has taught me to push through my fear of vulnerability and communication,” says Sierra Lucia. “It’s the only thing that has made me feel comfortable with the feeling of being uncomfortable.”

Royce Fisherman

Despite hours of fishing, and the last name "Fisherman", Royce could not catch a single fish on da island of O'ahu and moved to NYC to pursue his dreams of becoming a musician instead. Royce is making a splash both at home and across the continent with his punchy, powerful sound.

JOBY!

When he’s not catching waves, this 23 year old Native Hawaiian is rockin’ with his four piece band So Cherry. “JOBY!” enjoys blending diverse styles, such as indie, surf rock, and reggae, to create his own signature sound. JOBY! has released several tunes that encapsulates his feel-good, uplifting vibe.

Ragamuffs

Ragamuffs, the musical project of Hailey Fines, emerged in 2017 from Honolulu’s DIY scene, blending indie rock with bedroom pop. The name Ragamuffs, inspired by Selah Sue’s “Ragamuffin,” embodies kindness, passion, and the relentless pursuit of dreams—qualities that define Hailey’s music. A self-taught singer, songwriter, and producer, Hailey infuses her recordings and live shows with this genuine, relatable spirit. Her hazy sound, soft guitar riffs, and bright melodies evoke sweet nostalgia, drawing influence from artists like Paramore, Sara Bareilles, and Hippo Campus. Ragamuffs’ music seamlessly blends pop, folk, soul, and lo-fi, offering something for everyone.

Lilikoi Blondie

"Didn’t think you’d see a couple of 34 bangahs in here, did you?

On top of being Hawai’i's least-streamed industry plants, Lilikoi Blondie (Koa and Keana) makes club punk/alternative music that someone might possibly maybe kind of want to listen to."
