Early life and education

[edit]

Peʻa was born in Hilo, Hawaii and was raised in Pana‘ewa, Hilo, Hawaii. He comes from a musical family and his mother, Pua Leonard, introduced him to music to help him with words.[6] Peʻa started singing as a young boy due to a speech impediment,[7] later stating that music saved his life.[8] His father, Arthur Pe‘a, also exposed him to jazz and big band music, which later influenced Kalani's musical style.[7] In his early years, Peʻa performed in choirs and talent competitions. Some of his music influences include The Temptations and Stevie Wonder.[9]

Peʻa received his bachelor's degree at Colorado Mesa University in Mass Communications with an emphasis in public relations/news editorial and has also worked on his master's degree focusing on early childhood education.[10] He is a 2001 graduate of Ke Kula o Nawahiokalaniopuu, the Hawaiian Language School in Keaʻau, Puna, HI. Peʻa illustrated and published five Hawaiian language children stories.[11] Peʻa is a fluent Hawaiian language speaker.[12] He departed his position as a Hawaiian resource coordinator at Kamehameha Schools in 2017 to pursue his career in music full-time.[13]

Peʻa was affiliated with the Chamber and Concert choirs during his first three years in college. In 2001, Kalani entered and won in the National Association of Teachers of Singing Competition for the Colorado/Wyoming Chapter.[7]

Music career

[edit]

In 2017, his debut album E Walea won a Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award for Contemporary Album of the Year,[14] and the Grammy Award for Best Regional Roots Music Album, becoming the first artist ever to win both awards for the same album,[14] and the first non-Louisiana winner of Best Regional Roots Music Album since the category's inception in 2012.[15]

In 2017, he performed at the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live alongside Henry Kapono, Kalapana and more. The show's theme was "We Are Friends: A Lifetime Party Of '70s Music".[16][17]

When Peʻa won his Grammy Award in 2017 for Best Regional Roots Music Album his Producer Dave Tucciarone said "I don't think there could have been a better ambassador of aloha," , "He is Hawaiian, he speaks fluent Hawaiian, he teaches Hawaiian and he's immersed in the culture. His first love may be soul and R&B, but he is a Hawaiian music artist … and the people on the Mainland saw his spirit shining through."[18]

Both of Peʻa's albums E Walea and No 'Ane'i hit number 11 on the billboard charts.[19]

Peʻa showed up on the red carpet at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in a purple sequin blazer that caught attention from the press.[26] His look was then featured and installed into the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live in March 2019.[27] He paired his look with fresh lei from Hawaiʻi which was then recreated for the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live. His purple crown flower lei he wore was a gift from Hawaiian Music group Hoʻokena. Peʻa's partner and manager Allan B. Cool wore a feather cape, or ʻahu‘ula, created by master feather-worker and cultural practitioner Kawika Lum-Nelmida.[28][22]

On February 18, 2017, the Council of the County of Hawaiʻi congratulated Peʻa with a proclamation.[better source needed] The council said, "Your Grammy award inspires members of the next generation to work hard, dream big, and express love and joy in all that they do. By sharing your gift with others, you will ensure the perpetuation of ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i Hawaiian Language." On the same date, Harry Kim, the Mayor of County of Hawaii, awarded Kalani with a Proclamation.

Charity

[edit]

Pe'a's grandmother suffers from Alzheimers. He was interviewed by KHON2 News and said that "Many families are ashamed to say they have family members affected by it. I really want to encourage the importance of not being ashamed to talk about it, to ask for help — advice and help from the Alzheimer’s Association. And it’s okay to cry on somebody’s shoulder.”

Pe'a donates a portion of his live shows towards programs supporting Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers.[49][50][51][52]
