Taimane translates to diamond from Samoan and perfectly reflects the different facets of her nature. Whether delicately finger-picking through Bach or radically ripping through Led Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres – from classical to rock to flamenco – and stretch her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies of Hawai`i, where she grew up.

When Don Ho caught wind of the talented teen, he invited her to join him as part of his venerable variety show at the Waikiki Beachcomber, further fueling Taimane’s desire to perform for and connect with audiences. In addition to performing her own distinctive versions of well-known pieces, Taimane weaves in original compositions that are as far ranging as her musical tastes. With the fierceness of a rocker, and the grace of a dancer, Taimane and her music are wowing ever-larger audiences. She lights up rooms wherever she goes, sparkling like the diamond that she is..

It’s been four years since my last album release, so I'm incredibly ecstatic that in 2 weeks, I’ll be releasing my new baby, “HAWAIKI”. Here's a sneak peak photo of what's to come.

Pre-Order Album Now:
fanlink.to/hawaiki

Hawaiki is the spiritual realm long-revered as the place where Polynesians originated and return after death and is the home for the Gods and Goddesses.

🗓 Mark your calendars. A special voyage embarks on September 23rd! Time to set sail into the spiritual epicenter of the South Pacific.

“Bora Bora Sunset” - New music video out now.
Tahitian instruments w lyrics of "Lazy Days" exude the feeling of watching a sunset with friends in Bora Bora. This dreamy Polynesian groove is my favorite song from my upcoming album “Hawaiki”, releasing September 23rd!
