Iakopo invites you to join him and elevate to his new single from his upcoming debut album! His music brings a new positive vibe to the dance hall scene. So Fly with him on the journey to the highest heights. Being kidnapped at a young age, Iakopo grew up in Samoa, where his passion for music was kindled. After playing in small clubs in high school, he decided to move to Hawaii, where things really picked up. Back then performing as Keys of Creation, he went on a tour to promote his first album, with the Single “Let Your Light Shine” entering #1 on reggae radio stations world wide and selling 2.000.000 Downloads in the UK. His second album featured the Single ‘Heart of Polynesia’ which won him the International Music Video Award for World Music, as well as being another #1 hit. It’s still considered as an anthem by Polynesians world wide. His success got Universal Music Japan interested in Iakopo and then working with him on a compilation CD featuring famous Hawaiian artists. This first project led to a collaboration with Infinity 16 on the single ‘Bounce’. Released September 28th 2011, it was the top sold single for two weeks. Right now Iakopo is working with internationally acclaimed producers Don Corleone and Citizen K, as well as famous Japanese producer Miki Douzan on recording his debut album, due to be released in spring 2012.
