      ​@@hoh5956 He put out a statement that he's Hawaiian because Kahuku, HI raised him, but his bloodlines are Tongan, Samoan and Irish. He reps ALL of Polynesia whether it's by blood or the love he feels. I've always claimed Hawaii and the Hawaiian way of life because Nanakuli, HI raised me but my blood ties are to Samoa. We learned the true meaning if family and community FROM Hawaii.

      Full version by @kolohekai But really,check out so many of the Hawaiian/Polynesian artists that have songs and jams that the rest of the world hasn't been exposed too until Iam put it out there. Fiji, JBoog, Anuhea, Common Kingz, Maoli, Mana'o Company and the list goes on and on. I feel like modern "Hawaiian" music is a mix of Reggae, Country (some would say Jawaiian music....Jamaican + Hawaiian) some fast some slow. The days of Don Ho and Tiny Bubbles and the steele guitar are a thing of the past (albeit a significant one).

    I was secretly waiting for Kolohe Kai to come out from backstage to join him! He had FUN perfoming this one. One thing that caught my eye was when he looked behind him this time, he looked behind WITH A SMILE vs. when he turned around during his audition because he wanted to cry.. chicken skin for me! He DESERVED to win! Can't wait to see whats in store for him!

    I said it when I heard him and Oliver singing together I knew it then. It was just a feeling I had, but I thought that Oliver would've won second place. So IAM I wish you all the best you've made your dad proud for sure. Finally someone that's not a country artist.
