Released in 2017, RELAXER flew straight into the top 10 of the UK album chart ahead of a summer of major international shows - including a headline show at London’s O2 Arena and headline performances at numerous festivals - and became their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.

With a voice uniquely her own, Hawaiian singer-songwriter Kawehi draws you in with her catchy hooks and honest lyric.  Manned by a Guitar, 'Ukulele and Boss RC-30 Looping Station, she's a "one-man band" creating intricate loops via beatboxing and creative guitar usage.
