Maui's Kamalei Kawa'a praised for ‘spiritual’ performance on ‘The Voice’

It took barely seven seconds for a Hawaii singer’s talent to be recognized on “The Voice” on Monday night. Maui’s Kamalei Kawa‘a performed his own rendition of “Redemption Song” by Bob Marley and the Wailers and barely got his first chords out of before Chance the Rapper swung his chair around.

Kawa'a joined Billy V to talk about his music background and what it was like getting up on that stage.
