The singer’s Oceanic Blues style was born out of the artist growing up in a Polynesian family, growing up singing the culture’s traditional songs, and listening to Stevie Wonder and many other Motown records. The distinct style brings warm vocals and gritty guitars and reverb to the forefront, expanding on the classic Blues style.
