Amy Hanaiali‘i

Amy Hanaiali`i has undoubtedly established herself as Hawai’i's most respected and loved female vocalist, songwriter, composer and performer. She continues to be the top-selling female vocalist in Hawai’i, and she has won the hearts of many with the resurrection of ha’i (falsetto). Her acceptance and success in a genre of music that was waning, confirmed that with the right elements you can introduce a new generation to musical styles that long seemed dormant. When Amy emerged, ha’i was not only once again discovered, but it was enhanced and given a new sound. Hanaiali`i is known worldwide for her unmatched vocal range, polished performances, classic charm, and infectious smile. She's traveled the world and back, received formal training in European classical music, jazz, blues, American standards and pop, and holds B.A. in Fine Arts. Combining these artistic styles and training makes her a fluently diverse entertainer, and it creates an immediate and profound connection with her audiences.
