About the Musician:
Maleli Raiyawa
MALELI!! is a folk singer-songwriter who turns heartbreak, identity, and cultural tension into music that’s emotionally vulnerable to a fault. Raised between suburban America and his father’s island heritage, he’s spent a lifetime navigating the space between belonging and feeling misunderstood. Through raw confessionals, spoken-word flourishes, and flashes of dark humor, Maleli’s songs confront mental health struggles, generational trauma, and the tangled question of who you’re supposed to be in a world that expects you to fit one narrow mold. Onstage, he wields his cannon of a voice and vulnerable storytelling like a boxcutter—slicing through knots of anxiety, grief, and longing. The result is a theatrical, raw, unfiltered sound that invites listeners to embrace their own complexities. For Maleli, music isn’t just an art form; it’s a lifeline and a safe haven—where every haunted heart and searching soul can find the courage to speak truth, shed shame, and keep running toward hope.
