In 2005, Raiatea Helm got showered with the prestigious Na Hoku
Hanohano awards. She won as Female Vocalist of the Year and also
Most Promising Artist. The young singer, dancer, composer and
musician is largely self taught. Her passion for Hawaiian music gave
her the energy and determination to work on her talent and she did
it.
At the age of 18, she swept the Hawaiian music community off their
feet with her first album “Far Away Heaven” that not only shows her
great vocal abilities, but also a professionalism that is rare at
this age. Only two years later, in 2004, she released her second
success album “Sweet and Lovely.”
Raiatea’s music captures the feeling of Hawaii; it exudes the Aloha
and the sunshine of the islands and the people that live here. She
sings in the falsetto tradition and has been looked at as a
successor to the great Auntie Genoa Keawe and the amazing Amy
Hanaialii Gilliom.
