Growing up in Hawaii, Kolohe Kai was immersed in a rich musical culture, often watching his family play music in their backyard. This early exposure sparked his passion for singing and songwriting, leading him to form a band in high school and eventually get signed to a record label.


With a discography that includes hits like "Ehu Girl," "Cool Down," and "Dream Girl," Kolohe Kai has released multiple albums, blending themes of positivity and the beauty of nature into his music. His songs often reflect his upbringing and the therapeutic influence of the ocean, which plays a significant role in his life and artistry.

He expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "Words cannot explain how happy I am that this is finally happening. The Philippines is our biggest following in the world, and I just can't wait to sing 'Ehu Girl' with all the fans who've been asking us to come for so long." The excitement surrounding the tour is palpable, with many shows already nearing sell-out status. If demand continues to grow, Kolohe Kai hopes to expand the tour to other locations in the Philippines, such as Cebu and Siargao.


As part Filipino, Kolohe Kai has a personal connection to the culture and is looking forward to experiencing authentic Filipino food during his visit.
