KOLOHE KAI

Kolohe Kai stands as a stalwart figure in the realm of Pacific Island Reggae, commanding attention and adoration for over a decade. The brainchild of the talented singer-songwriter Roman de Peralta, hailing from the vibrant island of Oahu, Kolohe Kai has etched his name in the annals of island Reggae, delivering ten chart-topping hits since inking a record deal at the tender age of 17. His music is a fusion of local ukulele vibes with the rhythmic underpinnings of roots reggae, evolving over time to incorporate elements of Pop and R&B, propelling Kolohe Kai to the forefront of Island Reggae’s life.

The undeniable popularity of Kolohe Kai is evidenced by his status as one of Hawaiis’ most streamed reggae artists, accumulating over 40 million streams in 2020 alone. His album “Paradise” (2013) was crowned Reggae Album of the Year at the prestigious Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, while his 2019 release “Summer To Winter” clinched the same accolade at the Island Music Awards, propelled by the runaway success of the single “Round and Round,”, which resonated deeply with audiences across the Hawaiian archipelago, even becoming the anthem for numerous high school graduations.
