8RO8

8RO8 is the hottest alternative artist coming out of Hawai’i, taking the mainland by storm. Hailing from Mākaha, Oʻahu, 8RO8, is a dynamic artist/producer blending reggae, R&B, hip-hop, pop, and island influences to create a sound uniquely reflective of Hawaiʻi’s diverse culture. His stage name, pronounced “eight-row-eight,” pays homage to Hawaiʻi’s area code and his first name, symbolizing his deep-rooted connection to the 50th state. His breakout moment came with the release of “Counting On You” in February 2025. This track, along with his previous work, has contributed to his growing presence in the music scene, earning him over 17M+ streams across DSPs and recognition as one of Spotify’s 2024 Asian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month Artists to Watch. 8RO8’s versatility has caught attention across the music space, leading to collaborations with artists like P-Lo on “HELE” and reggae icon J Boog on “Wana”. He’s also earned social media co-signs from Doechii, Kehlani, Cuco, Thuy, Karri, and more. On June 26, 2026 he arrives with his debut full-length album, HAMMAJANG, showcasing his range in full.
