  • Kala’e Camarillo

    Born and raised in Kihei, Maui, Kala’e Camarillo has been garnering acclaim since the release of his debut album in 2017. “Working Man” was nominated for a Na Hōkū Hanohano Award, recognizing him as one of Hawaii’s “Most Promising Artists.” His follow up album, “Feel at Home,” won the Na Hōkū Hanohano Award for Contemporary Acoustic Album of the Year in 2019, and in 2021, his single “Be Like You,” was nominated for Song of the Year and Single of the Year. In 2023, Kala’e’s third project was nominated for five awards: EP of The Year, Christmas Single of The Year, Favorite Entertainer of The Year, Song of The Year (Old Kihei), and Male Vocalist of the Year. Out of the five nominations, he took home two awards, for EP and Christmas Single.

    Then, only two days after the devastating Lahaina fires, Kala'e wrote "Sands of Old Lahaina," which he performed at the “HiSessions Concert for Maui” disaster relief fundraising event. The heartfelt anthem went on to win three 2024 Hōkūs for Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year and Single of the Year, giving him a total of six Hoku Awards in just seven years. Kala’e is currently working on a new album with producer Imua Garza.
