Kehlemi, to perform during the 2027 Maui Songwriters Festival January 6-9 ‘Maui Live’ Showcase highlighting Maui’s own singer-songwriters. @RCKapaluaMaui Alaloa Lounge Kehlemi has been surrounded by music since childhood, singing in church, at school, and with family. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, he launched his professional music career in 2022 and has steadily built it while moving between Maui, Oahu, and Seattle. Along the way, he’s sharpened his craft by learning and performing alongside artists including 94Tunez, EtuSzn, Spawnbreezie, and others. His growing body of original music and live shows has taken him to stages across the U.S., where he’s developed a reputation for heartfelt performances and strong audience connection. In 2026, his rendition of Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know” gained widespread attention on social media, marking a standout moment that introduced his voice to a broader audience and reinforced his place as an artist people consistently look forward to hearing.
