Amanda Frazier, a 24-year-old local to Hawaii, is the oldest of six kids. She was born in Japan, but spent her childhood living in Aiea. For college Amanda decided to venture to the mainland and attended a small university in Southern California. Recently she moved back home to Hawaii (and says that she doesn’t plan on leaving). Her roots in music began with her love of singing as a child. In highschool, she picked up a guitar and hasn’t stopped playing and writing ever since. Amanda uses catchy phrases and hooks in her compositions. It’s hard to listen without finding yourself singing along. Her lyrics are sassy, sweet, and fun and at the same time honest and real, painting the depravity of heartbreak, as well as the rapture of falling in love. With influences like Over The Rhine, Sarah Bareilles, and Bruce Springsteen, Amanda Frazier melds new and vintage, young and old seamlessly. It’s no wonder she has fans all over the world.

With over 15 years experience, DJ Kee draws upon the positive, conscious, politically infused hip hop of the late 80s and early 90s that inspired him to get started. He taught himself how to DJ as a Ethnic Studies student at UC San Diego in the early 90s. He would watch DJs he knew, admired and hired (while organizing events for various Asian American and Affirmative Action student organizations and councils on campus), then go home and figure out how to do it himself.

Hope Mayo has been penning songs for over a decade now; many of which have been recorded and performed by award- winning musicians. She has quickly become a mainstay in Honolulu’s emerging Chinatown art and music scene, and is considered to be one of Hawaii’s most sought after performing songwriters. Born and raised in Hawaii, Hope’s musical spectrum is as diverse as the place she calls home. From the sincerest of pop ballads, to an intimate jazz piece, and back around for 12 bars of gutsy soul wrenching blues; her range resonates an authenticity and originality which is hard to come by these days. It's because of this, that Hope has quickly gained the respect of those very musicians who she once idolized.

One of Hawaii's two reigning queens of drum and bass, Saya is best known for forming Pacific Jungle in 2005. With Pacific Jungle, she is responsible for Subphonix, Honolulu's longest running drum and bass monthly, which just turned 3 in October, and Broken Liquid, along with Honolulu's other drum and bass Queen, DJ Toki, which is a brand new positive-vibed night of liquid drum and bass and other eclectic beats. As an ambassador of drum and bass to and from Hawaii, Saya and Pacific Jungle have brought a wide variety of artists to the islands from around the globe, including Ed Rush, Concord Dawn, Dylan, Robyn Chaos, DJ Lee, Red One, Shimon, Evol Intent, and John B. With Pacific Jungle, she is currently gearing up for their biggest event yet, Ed Rush & Optical at Pipeline Café the first Saturday of January, along with many of Hawaii's best EDM DJs, covering all genres thoroughly. Though you usually find her behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly, Saya loves to step up to the decks herself. In 2006 she was featured on one of MC XYZ's Back2Back Sessions series. The past few years have seen her spinning, not only in Hawaii, but also on the mainland at such nights as LA's longest running drum and bass weekly, Respect. Saya usually comes with the liquidy, dubby, and funky beats, but with her range in taste, she can bust out the dancefloor and darkness as well; you never know what to expect.

Toki, a member of Oahu’s original all-female DJ collective Sisters In Sound, held a weekly residence at Electro-Lyfe, Saturdays at Indigo in collaboration with DJ Monkey.

She has also shared the stage with vocalist Jennifer Johns at Nextdoor.
