FOR YOUR NĀ HŌKŪ HANOHANO AWARD CONSIDERATION

Haku Records is proud to submit these two incredible projects that we were a part of. Mahalo for your consideration for each, in their respective categories.

 
 

Single of the Year

 

This lover-track explores the ever-changing tides of relationships, questioning how love sustains its story through both sweet-and-salty seasons. The ocean, in her expansive unknowns, is the greatest life-source. She nurtures, heals and connects us to each other and the deepest origins of life and love.

 
“For many of us in Hawai’i, the island itself plays a true role in our relationships, and for me, the ocean is where I reconnect with myself and experience the deepest forms of love. Saltwater Kiss reminisces about life’s love lessons. I will always return to a ‘Saltwater Kiss’ to heal and love again, and again”
— Kimié Miner

“Our goal is to help amplify the beautiful falsetto sounds here in the islands by sharing Hawaiian Falsetto Vol 1 with both malihini (visitors) and kamaʻāina or people from our local community.”
