Fiji is one of the most popular artists out of Hawaii. He is not Hawaiian (he is Fijian) but he is known by ALL islanders because of his music. And he’s not in a group, if you can believe it. He does most of his own backup on his recordings☺️ GOAT fr fr. If you watch his live performance in NZ (e papa) you’ll see what I mean by all islanders. Much love & bless up
@jordyharlem Жыл бұрын
To be fair e papa is a NZ Māori song, and is basically our national anthem. Whether Fiji sung it or any artist the whole crowd would of sang along. Not to discredit Fiji he is a staple on every polys playlist.

Bruuuuuuuh, you stumbled upon a diamond in the rough. Fiji. 20 years ago, that man could dance, sing and work the entire stage performing concerts with no breaks. Today his health limits his mobility so he gets around in a wheelchair. For Pacific islanders worldwide and in Hawaii, he is our island reggae superstar.

Fiji is his artist name. He goes by the name George "Fiji" Veikoso from the island nation of Fiji. He used to be a backing vocalist for the Quinno and Friends Band (Big Mountain lead singer). Fiji helped pioneered the now known Hawaiian music movement called the Jawaiian Reggae, a mixture of Hawaiian and Jamaican flavour. He is a PACIFIC SENSATION, just to sum things up 😁🔥🔥🔥🔥
