HONOLULU (HI Now) - As one of the newest picks for the Henry Kapono Foundation On The Rise program, iMi is stepping into the spotlight with a sound shaped by life in Hawai‘i and a passion for his culture.
Part of what makes iMi worth your Friday night is the journey behind the music. From the moments and places that helped define their style to the confidence it takes to keep creating in a tight knit island scene, iMi brings personality and purpose to every performance. Add in the recent Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award nomination for two singles, and you have an artist who is thriving in Hawaiian music as a local musician.
You can catch iMi live during Pau Hana with a Purpose at Kapono’s at the Lounge in the Hawaii Kai Shopping Center on Saturday July 3. Doors open at 5pm, live music runs 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.,
Tickets are available here and to keep up with iMi, check out @ka.imi.music on Instagram or kaimimusic.com/.
