I've sat down to write this many times over the last three years, but I'm finally ready to say it: I'm back.
These past three years have been a season of deep personal struggle and finding the courage to move forward. The hardest part of this journey was the passing of my beautiful Mom. She was such a huge part of my heart and the reason I feel music the way I do. I am still finding my words when it comes to losing her, but I know she would want me to keep sharing my soul and my perspective with the world.
To be honest, the weight of that loss combined with the constant stress of copyright strikes and the fear of losing this channel has taken a real toll on me. There were moments I didn't think I'd ever find the heart to sit in front of this camera again, or if my perspective was even worthy of being shared.
But I'm realizing that my healing is a journey we can walk together. To protect this space and my own peace of mind, things might look a little different moving forward. I'll still be reacting to the music we love, but l'll be finding safer ways to do it so we dont risk losing our community. I'm also going to start sharing more of my real life-vlogs, stories, and the journey of just 'staying humble' through it all. I'm starting small, and I'm starting honest.
Thank you to everyone who stayed, who reached out, and who kept the light on for me while I was silent. Your alofa and peace have been a strength to me. I can't wait to connect with you all again, one session at a time.
I know it been some time. But , this still hurts. RIL @FijiTheArtist may you live on in our Heart,mind and soul forever. Thank you for all the memories directly and indirectly through family gatherings, functions and community connections. And on those lonely moments we shared our toughest moments while listening to you. May it be in the car, our room , the park , beach , workspace or on a walk , run, bike or cruising. while we be crying yelling or laughing . Thank you for your music. your music was all we had in those moments coming through the speakers. so thank you uso on everything. Directly and indirectly. All hail the KING OF ISLAND REGGAE And LONG LIVE @FijiTheArtist . Manuia Lou Malaga Unc. Tofa Soifua🍻

Tonight, we celebrate Iam Tongi! Ever since the first audition on American Idol you could just see people absorbing his love. He was able to, in just a few moments, share what the spirt of aloha is with just his voice.
It took the community to bring everyone together tonight, thank you to the countless individuals who helped put this concert on. Although Iam’s already won everyone over in this beautiful state and across the country, we still need to get him through the finish line.
Vote for Iam Tongi this coming Sunday!
