Get DirectionsCelebrate the season at Paula Fuga's “Home for the Holidays” show! Join Hawaiʻi's Female Vocalist of the Year (Nā Hōkū 2022) sharing her sonic gifts and her favorite holiday tunes with her stellar band. Called the “Hawaiian Queen of Soul,” her exquisite vocals resonate powerfully with her audiences and have made her one of the most sought-after live performers in Hawaiʻi and beyond. Noted Variety: “She possesses an uncommonly gorgeous voice and holds notes that wrap around a listener like a mother’s embrace.”
A singer and a songwriter of depth and passion, she is praised for her intense emotion with a personal style that is widely appealing to audiences around the world. Impossible to peg her into a single music genre, her range encompasses sweet island vibes, R&B, jazz, soul, and Jawaiian roots reggae. Blending tradition, innovation, and originality, seamlessly mixing English and Hawaiian lyrics, audiences now have a special treat – Paula's favorite songs for the Christmas holidays.
Her first release earned her the Na Hoku Award (Hawaiʻi's “Grammy”) for Most Promising Artist of the Year. In 2021, she signed with Jack Johnson's Brushfire record label, and released her first album under that label Rain On Sunday, which added to her Na Hoku Awards recognition: she won 2022 Female Vocalist of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year.
Welcome in the holidays with Hawaiʻi's Queen of Soul, Paula Fuga!
