Kalani Pe‘a got his start at the age four when he was diagnosed with a speech impediment; his mother introduced him to singing and music to help him pronounce his words. His father who comes from a musical family and his mother encouraged him to take vocal lessons and choir, and by age 8, Peʻa was winning numerous talent competitions. His winning streak continued with Brown Bags to Stardom, and first place in the National Association Teachers of Singing Competition in Colorado/Wyoming chapter, in men’s classical and musical divisions. 

His debut album brought him into working with Dave Tucciarone, a 13-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award- Winning Engineer and Producer based in Honolulu, leading him to win a 2017 GRAMMY® and his first Na Hoku Award. This successful collaboration continued with Peʻa’s second CD, No ‘Ane‘i [We Belong Here], garnering rave reviews and a second GRAMMY win in 2019. Now his 3rd CD Kau Ka Pe‘a has once again brought him GRAMMY recognition, and he was also featured in the GRAMMY Opening Premiere Concert. 

A fluent Hawaiian speaker and graduate of Hawaiian language school, Peʻa went on to illustrate and publish five Hawaiian language children’s stories while working on his master's degree in early childhood education at the University of Hawaiʻi Hilo. He taught at Kamehameha Preschools in Kona, followed by 8 years as a Hawaiian resource coordinator for Kamehameha Schools Maui, teaching Hawaiian culture (science focus), and creating curriculum. 

The GRAMMY wins opened the door for his performing and touring career, and he was honored by the Hawai‘i State House of Representatives with an official proclamation: “It is vital that Native Hawaiian culture and the arts be perpetuated for future generations: Kalani Pe’a is a torchbearer and we recognize his accolades, accomplishments, and continued work on behalf of Native Hawaiians.”

Critically acclaimed one-woman show Caterpillar Soup is returning to Santa Monica for three days only for a 20th anniversary performance Nov 21, 23, and 24.

These performances will benefit our nonprofit 'Help Hope Live' in honor of the play's writer and performer Lyena Strelkoff.

The play has received ovations across the country and as far away as Alaska.

Lyena's return to the stage now signifies how far she's come, how much the play's themes of resilience and transformation impact all of our lives, and the importance of community support (and financial help) after a spinal cord injury.
