Maukele Soul

Hawaii-rooted Maukele Soul makes music for connection — folk, reggae, Latin pop, country, gospel — love as a practice, not just a feeling. Maukele Soul is one of five sister projects from Maukele Music, a Hawaii-rooted independent label dedicated to music as a path — inward, earthward, sacred, cultural, and communal. This project holds the communal path: music made for love, relationship, and the shared life we build together when we choose each other. The catalog spans every emotional geography of connection. Folk pop songs like Love Heals the Spirit and I'm Drawn to You hold the intimacy of being known. Only Love and Love Three Times bring reggae warmth to devotion. My Soul Never Forgets and Love Lives move into Latin pop, in Spanish and English, for love that outlasts time. Your Grace is a country ballad of trust and surrender. Circle of Grace plants gospel roots in community soil. And Still We Rise — with its multiple versions spanning folk, gospel pop, and Hawaiian freedom song — is the catalog's collective declaration: that human beings, at their best, do not give up on each other. The foundation is Aloha: the Hawaiian conviction that love is not a feeling to wait for but a choice to make, one song at a time. In English and Spanish. Based in Virginia.
