Seven Suns

From the reaches of Oceania, Seven Suns emerges as a collective of seven souls - artists, producers, engineers, backup musicians, and musical directors - with a shared purpose that is simple yet profound: to spread love, unity and peace through their music.
 
Shawn Kekoa Pimental, Justin Kawika Young, Jason Tupuola-Aiono, Phil Crown, Paul Kalikohou Nelson, Ethan Capone and Pi‘i Miguel are industry veterans who have come together to form the group Seven Suns. Individually, they have supported a diverse range of artists on both Hawai‘i and global stages. Now, as Seven Suns, each member brings a unique musicality to the group, creating a vibrant fusion that speaks from the heart.
 
Upon hearing early recordings, Ineffable Records—Billboard's top independent label in the reggae genre—quickly realized their potential and signed Seven Suns to release their first single and album. “We love seeing such talented musicians come together to reach new heights,” says J Namkung, Director of Operations at Ineffable, “but more importantly, we love the music they’re making and are sure everyone else will feel the same way once they get the chance to hear it.”
 
Their first single, Many Feathers, “was written as an expression of the founding ideal of our band,” says vocalist Justin Kawika Young. “A single feather is unique and special, but it takes many feathers moving together to take flight. Similarly, we have all been on individual musical paths but in Seven Suns we find greater strength as a collective, bonded and lifting each other to new heights.”
 
Since debuting, Seven Suns has featured as support for The Green, Allen Stone, and Maoli. They've released subsequent singles—Stranger, Faded, Run It Back, and Be Still Here—that have regularly topped local radio charts and extended their reach internationally. Their full length album Many Feathers was released Nov 8, 2024 via Ineffable Records and is nominated for seven Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards.
