Kalani Pe'a Ft. Pandanus Club, Kimie Miner & Kalenakū - Kau Ka Pe'a

Kalani Pe'a is now a three time GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter & producer and he radiates warmth and joy in all he does. 

His latest album Kau Ka Pe'a won 'Best Regional Roots Music Album' at the 2022 Grammys.  His first win back in 2016 made him the first Hawaiian Grammy winner.

Go behind the scenes with Kalani as he tries on his Grammys outfit which was custom made for him by fashion designer Kini Zamora inspired by King Kalākaua's coronation suit.  He also wears brooches and earrings created by Maui Divers Jewelry.

He says of his latest Grammy award winning album - 

"Kau is to be placed or to hoist. Pe'a is my last name, which means the sailboat or the sail of the boat. The theme of the album is to hoist your sail, create your own sailboat and voyage; navigate the world. And I needed to create this new album with a new theme song to instill the value of where we come from, having a sense of place, self-reflection and identity.

We all have to chart our own journey. As we pivot and adapt in this pandemic, we put up our own sail, and we must move forward. Holo Ka Wa'a, which means we got to chart our journey no matter whatever we see in life."
