My Name is Ben Kekoa, known as Benny Benz. I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, but grew up in the Bay Area, L.A. in California. Although I grew up poor and didn't have much, I was raised by a great family and a great community. I remember in our family gatherings, there would be all kinds of Filipino food, and karaoke was our main entertainment. The elders would sing and as a kid growing up I was curious what the adults were doing, so from there, I picked up the mic, started following the words on the tv screen and the adults would surround me. They throw money at me for singing, and I would pick the money and sing as much as I can to earn candy money as a kid. It was not until I was 14 yrs old that I really liked singing cause my sister would sing all the time and I looked up to her great voice. I was always surrounded by talented groups of people. I had some friends growing up who had a recording studio, and we would mess around with fruity loops and other media. I would see my friends post their music to my space and other music media. I would just sit there and watch their craft, and by learning from them, I started making beats and recording a song. 

When my father passed away, that's when I decided to follow my dream as a vocalist/Rnb singer. It was my way out and helped me with personal issues and problems. I started practicing my song writing and learning to progress my craft as a singer step by step all the way to high school. After high school, I decided to look at music schools in California. I came across a school name Academy of Arts in San Francisco, and there I learned more of my vocals and how to mix and master tracks plus shooting films to earn my BA in recording arts/film. Even though I didn't finish, I gained more experience from networking with other various artists in the Bay Area and music producers. 

I started recoding songs but never dropped an album in my life until now that Im confident to drop my album soon called "BayLALulu" cause of places I lived. This is my first mixtape. Now that I'm 39 yrs old, im working hard to make an album happen. 

My family told me to follow your dreams and go for them, and it only comes once in a lifetime opportunity. So this is my dream, and my wish is just to make music and perform around crowds. I know everyone in the world has a dream to follow. This is my dream to follow.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a blessed day.

Heralded as one of Polynesia's #1 commercial recording artists, Maoli has been credited with over 21 #1 Regional Island Reggae Hits. Since their debut in 2007 the group has been steadily on the rise, having performed in at least 42 of the 50 states, as well as New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Guam, and Saipan Territories. 
   
Throughout the years Maoli's music has matured into a sound and style that is constantly evolving to reflect and meet the eclectic taste of the group themselves and their loving fans. Maoli has developed their own unique sound by fusing the elements of Country, R&B, Soul, Acoustic, Rock & Roll, and Reggae. This "Country Reggae" has been labeled as heartfelt, uplifting, feel good music that has an impressive reach, enabling the group to sell out the largest venues in the state of Hawai'i.
​
At The i-Heart's Island Music Awards in 2020, Maoli won the "Album of The Year" award for "Sense of Purpose", along with the prestigious "Group of the Year" award. They were able to replicate that success in 2021 by winning the 'Album of the Year' award for "The Breakthrough," as well as 'Song of the Year' for "My Reason." Among those awards include a 2020 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for "Reggae Album Of The Year." It’s only through tireless perseverance and attention to artistry, that they were proudly able to achieve these awards completely independently.
​
The saga continues as the group continues to release a new, genre spanning single every two weeks as a part of the Maoli Music Overload project.
