Maoli (meaning “Native” in Hawaiian) started in Maui with Glenn Awong, a 14-year-old with a passion for music, and Kana Akiu-Corpuz. In their sophomore year, the aspiring vocalist and bassist began writing original music at the encouragement of their high school teacher. It was also during this time that Glenn started recording demos of his songs. By the time, he reached his senior year, Glenn was ready to share his music with a greater audience.
Maoli embarked on a new journey in 2012, touring on a national level. To capture a wider audience, Maoli traveled from California to New York and beyond. They have toured with some of the biggest and most world-renown acts in reggae music such as J Boog, Katchafire, Fiji and others.
In 2015, Maoli dropped their newest EP entitled “One Eighty”. The EP included Hawaii’s #1 hits “No Way” and “Sun Will Shine” along with others like “Let it go” and “Fight the rain”- original songs penned by the band’s founder and leader Glenn Awong.
In December of 2016 the band released “The Best of Maoli,” which features 16 hits from previous albums as well as *Bonus Track “Rocky Road” which features PeniDean. Staying true to their roots, Maoli’s style continuously evolves.
