The Voice of Island Soul & Reggae Fusion

FIA, a five-time Island Music Award winner, is a singer-songwriter hailing from Nanakuli, Hawai‘i, with Samoan roots and a deep love for R&B, soul, and reggae. Bursting onto the scene with his sophomore single Love Me, FIA quickly became a household name in the Island Reggae community. The track, now an enduring anthem, boasts over 42.5 million Spotify streams and 28 million YouTube views, and remains one of the most highly requested songs at his live performances.

In 2019, FIA cemented his status as a rising star, sweeping the Island Music Awards by winning all four of his nominations: Male Solo Artist of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Breakout Artist of the Year, and Song of the Year. He later added a fifth award to his collection, claiming another Music Video of the Year honor in 2021. That same year, FIA headlined his first South Pacific tour, captivating audiences across the region.

FIA’s introspective and relatable songwriting resonates with listeners of all ages. With hits like Fly Away, Take Me, and Be Better—an inspirational track off the Cali Riddim project produced by Collie Buddz—his music effortlessly blends emotional storytelling with vibrant rhythms.
