Known for hits like "Give It Up" and "Stone Love" from their album "Kona Town," their 2019 album "Local Motion" hit #1 on Billboard Reggae Albums. They released the "Makai" EP in 2023 and are currently touring.

Vana Liya

Vana Liya is a genre-busting vocalist/songwriter who broke through via social media ukulele covers of reggae songs, leading to a 2018 deal with Pepper’s L.A.-based LAW Records. Her debut album, Little Kahuna (2021), was produced by Stick Figure’s Johnny Cosmic.
