Kalai Music

Hawaiian born, Alaskan raised, Utah based, he is the premiere singer/songwriter/guitar player that you've never heard of. Maybe you missed him on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, “Extra”, TV guide's “Mvids” or MTV? He rocks vocal tambour, with powered control, likened to John Legend, and an uncanny, no comparison finger-style guitar. All that combines with his very own stammering range, effortless falsetto rounding out an original musical style he calls “Urban Vintage.” His writing is a neo-acoustic medley styling with a modern edge that ends up sounding like something out of the future. Kalai, is a 6'1”, 180 pound, 30 something, plaid-shirt-loving dude from a family business of plumbers. He has a birth defect to his left hand which requires him to keep his hand gloved and wrapped in bandage for life. He will overfeed your senses. His lyrics will penetrate your heart and his music will leave you begging for more. His name is "Kaniela Ka Lei Ali'i O'kalani Kala'i" but they call him "Kalai", the last unsung hero of the musical underground, Kalai is urban vintage.
