The sound and music of Maxine Soakai leaves an unforgettable impression on the soul of every listener. She is a new Christian music artist out of Utah whose singing and songwriting abilities truly put her in a category of her own. Maxine just released her first album. “I called the album The Light of Christ because I love knowing that His light can carry anyone in this world through any trial or hard time if we will let Him in.” Her last name Soakai comes from her Polynesian background. This is what makes her so unique. In the South Pacific you will find an island called Tonga, where her parents are from. Tonga is a small country, but has a very rich culture of faith, dancing and music where, if visited, one would hear an unforgettable sound of harmony and love in their music. Her parents came to America in search of freedom and opportunity, but they would not leave behind that culture and sound that they instilled into Maxine from the day she was born. At only five years old she began singing at church’s, weddings, funerals, and luau’s; but it wasn’t until high school that she picked up her first guitar and sat down at the piano and began playing by ear, without ever taking a single lesson in voice, guitar or piano. The music started to come from within her and she began writing Christian, Pop, R&B, and Reggae music. She’s written more than 20 Christian songs, and has over 40 songs total. Her goal is to be the first Polynesian artist in the Christian music industry. Maxine’s music is special and unique. Her lyrics will touch your heart, soothe your soul, and leave a lasting impression. She has been given a gift and wants to share it with the world.
