Fia is undoubtedly one of the biggest breakout artists to come out of Hawaii in recent years.
Although independent for a few years, Fia joined Ineffable Music Group in 2019. He has since released Morning Time (Awoia), Games, and Take Me. He even contributed an inspirational track, Be Better, on the popular Cali Roots Riddim produced by Collie Buddz. Then in 2021, Fia joined Mint Talent Group which currently boasts a booking roster of the likes of The Green, Brian McKnight, and Grandmaster Flash. He continues to be managed by NM Music Group, alongside Johnny Suite, Chante and Jasmin Nicole.
Musically, Fia has always been heavily influenced by soul and R&B music. Some of his favorite artists include Chris Brown, Al Green, Bruno Mars and Babyface. And while the Harbor City native has always had a deep love of music, it wasn’t until an unlikely opportunity pushed him to pursue music in 2018, leaving behind a security job to take over stages throughout Hawaii and beyond. Since taking the leap, Fia has toured throughout Hawaii, the West Coast [with Rebel Souljahz and The Green] and even headlining internationally in New Zealand, Australia and the Cook Islands. The soulful artist has also performed at a multitude of festivals and even had the opportunity to perform at an NBA halftime show at the Staples Center in early 2020. He did a quick west coast run with Kolohe Kai & CRSB in Fall 2021 and as well supported Steel Pulse on their Hawaii tour in early 2022. Fia made his debut at Cali Roots 2022.
Fia’s biggest hits include Love Me, Fly Away, and Morning Time (Awoia). In 2019, Fia took home all four of his Island Music Award nominations: Song of the Year [Love Me], Music Video of the Year [Love Me], Breakout Artist of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. Love Me continues to be in heavy rotation on radio stations and listener playlists alike, currently boasting over 14M streams on Spotify, 8M on Pandora and 5M on Apple Music. Late 2018, Fia’s debut EP ‘The Artist’ peaked within the top 3 of the iTunes Reggae chart as well as Billboard Reggae Album chart. He's released four tracks with Ineffable Records: Morning Time (Awoia), Games, Be Better and Take Me. All of which have charted within the top 20 of the iTunes Reggae chart and have been produced by Live Animaux or Collie Buddz. His most recent release Take Me has a fun, pop feel to it and is now available on all digital platforms. He also very recently collaborated with Surfer Girl on their ‘Little Green Eyes’ Remix!
