Faith Ako

New Single Release, 12-28-2021, Behold La'ie. A very special song about my life growing up on north shore of O'ahu, Hawai'i. One of my music mentors growing up in La'ie, Ms. Esther DeLarosa Macy encouraged me to record this song. No one from our North Shore community has done it so I decided to do it as a duet with cousin Joseph Napeahi.

My fourth and most recent album, "Ku‘u ‘Āina, Aloha, “ speaks to my birthplace on the windward side of O‘ahu where my 15 brothers, sisters and I were raised and where my heart is truly at peace,” said the singer. The CD includes six original compositions, “it was important to me that I weave together stories and memories of my home - the fragrances, the sounds, the sights, and the beauty of the islands. And of course, I’ve included some of my favorite hula standards, which are a must!”. As the Bay Area’s premier female artist in Traditional/Contemporary Hawaiian music, Faith has graced the West Coast with her powerful voice, charismatic personality and passion for Hawaiian music for over two decades.

Faith has been singing and playing music all her life. As a child growing up in Hawai‘i she was influenced by her culture and the sounds of Rock-n-Roll and Motown. A resident of the Bay Area since the early 80’s, Faith has been a member of several local Hawaiian bands and began a solo career in 2007.
