HAWAIIAN MUSIC, SHARED WITH THE WORLD
mele connect represents Hawaiian musicians and brings them to stages, labels and audiences abroad.
What we do
From the first conversation to the final encore, we stand with artists and organizers, so language and distance never get in the way of the music.
01
We represent a thoughtfully curated roster of Hawaiian musicians and book them with venues, festivals and private events that suit the music.
02
Itineraries, travel, interpretation and stage logistics, handled by a team fluent in both languages and both cultures.
03
We introduce artists to labels and distributors in Japan and support releases, licensing and media.
Every mele carries a place, a people and a lineage. Our work is to make sure it arrives whole.

Our story
Audiences in Japan love Hawaiian music deeply, yet the musicians who make it rarely have a trusted way to reach them. Our founders grew up on Oʻahu and Maui and spent years living and working across Japan. mele connect is the bridge they wished existed: intentional with culture, clear in business and loyal to the artists.
mele connect is a venture of The Liko Group.
