Mailani

Mailani, best known as a member of the Na- Ho-ku- Hanohano award-winning duo Keahiwai and more recently the trio Mighty J, steps into the spotlight as a solo artist displaying the depth of her talents on her self-titled new album, Mailani. This album presents innovative yet respectful interpretations of Hawaiian standards, as well as several original compositions in both Hawaiian and English. Mailani blends the contemporary and the traditional in ways that will delight aficionados of both genres.

Mailani’s original compositions hold true to her belief in holding ‘ohana, community and tradition close to her heart. Her sweet distinctive voice and honest emotions are portrayed in every song, making her one of Hawai‘i’s most endearing rising stars.

Mountain Apple is extremely proud to welcome Mailani to its already impressive list of great female vocalists, which include Nina Keali‘iwahamana, Emma Veary, Teresa Bright, Amy Hanaiali‘i, Raiatea Helm and Kekuhi Kealiikanaka‘ole.
